...first requisite for success is a habit of self-discipline. Boys, or rather young men, of eighteen, who have never been thrown on their own resources, whose hours have been mapped out for them, whose coming and going has been regulated by authority, whose clothes have been bought, whose books and companions have been chosen, or who have been in the seclusion of careful boarding-schools, are suddenly thrown into freedom, entirely unprotected, can choose everything from companions to studies and at the same time have to meet temptations new in kind and in degree.

It is indeed encouraging to see classic subjects treated by an American sculptor with such freshness of conception and such spirit and success in execution. A more charming figure than that of "The Young Sophocles Leading the Chorus after the Battle of Salamis" it would be difficult to find. Such a work is worth more than pages of description in the vividness with which it brings the old Greek life before...
