The gambrel-roofed House. Copyright, 1872, by Oliver Wendell Holmes. All rights reserved. Used by permission of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. Oliver Wendell Holmes. One of the delightful papers in the series called The poet at the breakfast-table is mainly devoted to a description of an old Cambridge home now passed away: the following extracts are made from it. My birthplace, the home of my childhood and earlier and later boyhood, has within a few months passed out of the ownership of my family into the hands of that venerable Alma Mater who seems to have renewed her youth, and has certainly repainted her dormitories. This was written in 1872. In truth, when I last revisited that familiar scene and looked upon the flammantia moenia of the old halls, Massachusetts with the dummy clock-dial, Harvard with the garrulous belfry, little Holden with the sculptured unpunishable cherubs over its portal, and the rest of my early brick-and-mortar acquaintances, I could not help say

ning, shall endeavor to prevent the necessary discipline from falling into a lifeless routine, alike deadening to the spirit of teacher and pupil. It is further my intention to take the immediate charge of the instruction in Physical Geography, Natural History, and Botany, giving a lecture daily, Saturdays excepted, on one or other of these subjects, illustrated by specimens, models, maps, and drawings. Louis Agassiz, His Life and Correspondence. Edited by Elizabeth Cary Agassiz. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1886, pp. 525-529. Jules Marcou, in his life of Agassiz, says that Mrs. Agassiz had the whole management of the school; everything was referred to her as director. She took the directorship of Agassiz's school in a masterly way, and succeeded admirably. She herself did not teach, but everything regarding the teaching came under her supervision. As the fees were high, the school was a very select one, and pupils came from different parts of the United States, even from

n very effective. It holds monthly meetings, at which matters of public interest are very frankly discussed, and before any action is taken, an opportunity is given for both sides of the question to be strongly presented. Many great public movements have originated here and been taken up and carried out by the citizens at large. One of the most important was the agitation of the park question, which finally received the attention and effective interest of the city government. Among the latest efforts in this direction was the movement for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the city. The original suggestion toward the accomplishment of this was made at a meeting of the association in the spring of 1895. The officers are as follows: president, Henry O. Houghton; vice-president, David A. Ritchie; treasurer, Oliver J. Rand; clerk, Theodore H. Raymond; auditor, Will F. Roaf; directors, John L. Odiorne, William P. Brown, Enoch Beane, Charles P. Keith, John F. Danskin.
