...better light, etc., but it is perfectly obvious that an exuberant community is merely indulging in a little self-advertising. No starting academic progress may be expected from such an innovation, and on the grounds of sentiment the thing becomes preposterous. Buildings pleasantly mantled with ivy, the play of sunlight among structures dedicated each to a special function of academic life, above all, the absence of trees, which do more to make an attractive campus than anything else, can find no place about a skyscraper. At the very start, Pittsburgh cuts away all the subconscious beauty which plays such...

...drew back and looked around me?it was a beautiful and terrible sight. The gloomy walls of the crater rose up on all sides, splashed here and there by red and yellow patches and lit up fantastically by the sunlight. The smoke rose up from the mouth in great curves and spread itself about in the crater, but, fortunately, nearly always in the opposite direction from where I was standing. I raised my voice and repeatedly called out to my companion, whom I could just see above me on the edge of the crater, in order to try the famous...
