...that Nicolette looked forth from a tower and dropped by a cord to the earth below. Incidentally the cord in this procedure becomes a "thread of lustre" and Nicolette "a drop of radiance." The mediaeval romancer in his description of this episode had instincts which were truer because simpler. Though Mr. Cummings' imagination makes Swinburne's seem sluggish, the glimpse of any imagination whatever is too rare a joy to permit of cavil. Let us trust that this one may for a time be set to tend a Greek temple--or even to learn how Keats...
...subjects in various courses. However, considering the age and honorable record of the Bowdoin Foundation, it should stimulate more interest and call forth more effort from the undergraduates. The value and training derived from writing an essay or thesis of merit in this competition justify the effort, even though this effort may win no material reward. The term of competition is now very limited, as the last day for submitting contributions is April first, and all who have been working for months on theses and essays for various courses, whether they have had the Prize in mind or not, should...

...though this showing is so favorable as far as it goes, it can be seen from the above statement that the great majority of the class have not as yet even sent in their pledges. While some may not feel able to pay just yet the first of the five installments which is due before June 1, everyone who has not already done so should make a point of sending in his pledge at once. Those who have lost the cards may obtain others on application to the Treasurer, either in person or in writing. And those...
