...Cromwell's face made from the mask taken after death by the sculptor, Thomas Woolner. After passing through the hands of Carlyle and Charles Eliot Norton, it finally found a permanent resting-place in the library in 1881. If any one has any doubt as to Cromwell's unsympathetic treatment of Charles I., one look at this cold, pale face will decide him.

...institution of a new assistant professorship in the English department, again suggests the ill-considered treatment of the department of political economy. In Political Economy, a subject of live interest and great popularity, it is reported that the faculty expect to reduce the working force, while the English department, where the instruction, as far as the prescribed courses are concerned, has been notoriously weak, is to have a new office created for it, which will merely perpetuate an old system that has met with nothing but condemnation.

Her defeats are always due to a prejudiced judge, umpire or referee, or unfair play of opponents. Her shabby treatment of Columbia last summer is in full keeping with the principle which she follows; if defeat seems a foregone conclusion it is better to skulk away. Dartmouth has had as good a nine as either Harvard or Princeton since the league was formed, but has been unlucky. When...
