Excerpt from The Calyx, 1912, Vol. 18 As a student of the law, as an advocate at the bar, and as a teacher of the law. Professor Staples is doubtless best known to the general public. For many years he has been regarded as one of the most learned and able lawyers of Virginia. He has been. From the beginning. An untiring student of the law. He has the legal mind and the legal temperament. As an advocate at the bar, he was reckoned as a master of the Socratic art. I have frequently heard that he had few equals in examining witnesses. As a teacher of the law. He is painstaking, exact, conscientious and thorough. The students rally about him. They are with him in the class-room, on the campus. And in his home. They love him. They trust 'him. They seek his advice on any and on every conceivable subject, all the way from the complex problem of matrimony to the simple matter of suggesting the most available remedy lot a bad cold. I know of no man who com bines in a finer way the charm and grace of the old time and the freedom and direct ness of the new. This combination of qualities in a teacher means, of course. That he is gifted with the genius of getting close to young men. It is a fact that service to young men is, with Professor Staples, an instinct, a passion, a creed.

Excerpt from The Halcyon, 1905, Vol. 20 The course of study is based on uniform requirements for admission. The work of the student is divided into three nearly equal parts: Prescribed, Elective, and Major. The prescribed work is limited to certain essential subjects of recognized value as a basis for general education the elective work gives free play to individual tastes the adoption' of a major subject permits the student's own inclination to be given special training and development by persistent study in one direction. Upon the completion of this undergraduate course the degree of B. A. Is conferred; for the young men who desire to fit themselves to become engineers, a prescribed course leads to the degree of B. S. In Engineering. In the fall of 1904, Swarthmore College expects to have ready a New Dormitory for the men and a New Chemical Building.

Excerpt from The Polyscope, 1905, Vol. 5 You may roast the new polyscope 'till you're content, but you'll never know how our poor hearts have been rent to jab each poor soul with some sharp edged (9) crack, that neither might wit nor yet spicyness lack. Long hours have we spent in our wearisome toil, making poems to order by midnight oil. The town we've ransacked for each possible ad., and now, since the Board hasn't done very bad, don't knock and cry out.

In the late 19th century, orphaned Jim Burden is sent to the wilderness in Nebraska to live with his grandparents. He arrives at the same time as the Shimerda family, including the eldest daughter Ántonia, who becomes his closest neighbors. Life in the American West is tough, especially for the impoverished Shimerda family, and pioneers must struggle for survival. A friendship blossoms between Jim and Ántonia as they explore nature and have adventures together, a friendship that will last a lifetime. My Ántonia became an immediate success when first published and is today considered Willa Cather's first masterpiece. It is praised for its depiction of the American West and its ability to highlight the aspirations of ordinary, poor people in a time when it was customary to write about the elite. WILLA CATHER [1873-1947] was an American author. After studying at the University of Nebraska, she worked as a teacher and journalist. Cather's novels often focus on settlers in the USA with a particular emphasis on female pioneers. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the novel One of Ours, and in 1943, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
