...careful reading of the communication will show the utter lack of facts by which such charges ought to be sustained. In the first place complaint is made because the sittings were given hurriedly. It will be remembered that by the contract all sittings were to be finished by the first of March. Notices to this effect frequently appeared in this paper long before the above date. Personal appeals were made for early sitting; appointments were made by members of the committee and by the photographer; and appointments for sittings were given both at the Cambridge studio and at the Boston...
Brutal, gashed, and swollen faces; wide gaping mouths, which opened for the last time to utter the death-shriek, and are now fixed forever in rigid agony; jagged, discolored teeth, sunken cheeks, knitted brows, dead, sodden eyes, awful contortions, ghastly smiles, hideous leers, faces of men and faces of women, faces of the young and faces of the old, faces which reek with the slime of years of vice and misery and despair; faces which Dante, groping among the damned, might have dragged from hideous, steaming depths of Lethean mud, and flung forth to front the unwilling...

...They don't recognize that if they want good pay for tutoring they must be able to give someting of value in exchange. Why, there are cases of men who have set themselves up as tutors, yet in the reports of examinations give evidence by their very marks of utter inability. Marks are not always the best criterion; but there are exceptional cases. Such ambitious men, we may feel quite sure, don't make much by advertising...
