THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. n A to tho plastic art. "In Qrook tragcdyas In sculpturo," says DeQutncy, "wo read tho abstraction of a Hfo that re poses, the sublimity of a Hfo thtt aspires, tho solemnity of a Hfo that is removed to an infinite distance" In tho English tragedy, on tho other hand vro hare a Hfo replete with action and palpitating with hope a Hfo whoso spirit is that of painting. DeQuincoy's comparison is so admissible that I can not refrain from quoting him at length "Into an En glish tragody oven festivals of joy, many enter mar riages and baptism as commemorations of national tro phies, which or anything like which in incompatible with tho Ycry being ol tho Greek. In that tragedy what uniformlnlty of gloom! Tho Greek, how mournful; the English how lumultious. Even the catastrophles, how different. In tho Greek wo sec a breathless waiting for a doom that cannot bo evaded a waiting, as it were, for the last shock of an earthquake or the inexorlblo rising of a deluge; in tho English it is like a midnight of ship wreck, from which up to tho last aud till tho final ruin comes, there still survives that sort of hopo that clings to human euergies."

Somo deluded per sons seem to realize that it has only a small circulation nmong the students and alnmni Certainly such a paper as this should be better supported by the studonts. Why aro all tho lovo scenes titlcated by the names of "Georgo and Arabella." Is it because they aro snch a "George"ous set or that they "Arabcrlla"coso lot any how and always have something to fight about? Let's have something inw.
