...mechanical for the work of a really imaginative artist; the equality of the pains expended on every bit of drapery and lock of hair suggests the attempt of a South Kensington student rather than that of a genuine artist, and the whole spirit is theatrical in its most vulgar sense. Every figure has taken its pose as in a tableau to be gazed at, and the want of unity of idea in the positions or faces is felt more painfully the longer the picture is examined...
...College, and with having failed to perform the pledges given at its start. The spleen of the writer, however, is evidently directed against a particular individual, and finds vent in numerous villifying and offensive personalities.

...were not compelled to do so by poverty. The poorer students would of course resort thither, but many who were not absolutely poor would prefer to board there. Among students it is not well to have poverty the ground of association. Secondly, for hasty meals in a hot, crowded, vulgar room, under circumstances which make polite observances difficult and social enjoyment impossible, would be substituted a decent and comfortable service which would promote good manners and good fellowship. Thirdly, the moral effect of living in that superb Hall could not but be good. It is by far the grandest college...
