...Mathieu's Torture Post" is a pathetic character sketch of a Paris painter who in his feverish enthusiasm for art allows his only friend, a little fellow much younger than himself, to hang from a post, head down, in a torturing position in order that he may have a model for the masterpiece which he is painting. This torture naturally kills the boy by degrees, although the end does not come till Mathieu comes home with the news that he has won the medaille d'honneur. The story as a whole suggests Guy de Maupassant. Although the idea...
...fleet-footed foreigner who has an easy business place found for him in order that he may carry club-colors to the front. Even the spectator will in a few years become the most rabid denunciator of these practices.

All those men unite in admiring him for just those qualities of sympathy and fair-mindedness which are so necessary in an efficient Dean. No other appointment would have been so acceptable...
...Peabody's work as a college preacher has been eminently successful. In 1881, while in the bloom of his work he layed down his charge to be taken up by younger hands. And yet Dr. Peabody is not old. Though his hair has turned white, his love and spirit for kind works are as fresh and young as ever. Since he resigned his position as preacher, he has been active in writing and translating, and now and then the college has the pleasure of listening to him in Appleton Chapel...
