...scales, in which are a tower, food, and money, representing the possessions of this world. On the left side, Saint George is killing the dragon, and on the right side, Saint John the Baptist holds a lamb. The picture is large and striking, and is interesting for its quaintness, though it can hardly be called a beautiful work...
There is room at Harvard for a student publication that will avoid subjects such as "The Quintessence of Kant," and prefer to dwell upon the less important, but far more hearty and genial, actualities of academic life. Though the Advocate has often ventured upon the deep waters of university learning, and withdrawn from them with no little credit, the true role of the journal undoubtedly lies in portraying the amiable customs of college existence; in hearkening to the murmurs of our miniature world, and its ideas, its little struggles, its trials and successes. The new issue of the Advocate lives...
This week's practice for the University team has been very satisfactory though there have been but two scrimmages. Captain Fisher has been out of the game all the week, and in order not to take any chances with a slightly bruised knee, he will not enter the game today, though he will be able to play if necessary.

The next earliest painting to this is a picture attributed to Spinello Aretino, which was probably painted in the year...
...half dozen centuries ago. Mr. Sinclair, the "Wise Man," overcame his slight accent; there was no disharmonizing detail in setting or in technique, and assuredly no actress could play the part of an angel more impressively and more movingly than did that remarkable actress, Miss Allgood; yet wihtal, though for the moment the play was suggestive, appealing and forceful, back of any appreciation of it was the indomitable doubt as to the place of an angel,--a messenger from the clouds,--upon the stage. What was not mystical was very real; there was too little consonance between the mystic...
