PROFESSOR LORD'S HISTORY

[The following extract from a personal letter regarding the review of Professor Lord's History of the College bears witness to the interest aroused by that volume. The writer of the letter was connected with the College for a short time only.]

I thank you sincerely for the copy of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE containing the notice of Professor Lord's history. Both the text and the illustration have given me a lot of pleasure. The college yard as there depicted brings back very vividly recollections of 1877, when I first set eyes on it. Oddly enough, the three posts, which serve in lieu of a gate at the corner "of the yard in the foreground, seem to have a particularly familiar aspect. It is strange how little things like that will stick in one's mind to the exclusion of matters so much more important.
