Lyle went to Paris in 1879 and became a pupil of Bonnat and Bastien Lepage. Later she entered the Julien Academy for more serious study in drawing, working enthusiastically, early and late, both in the school and in her own studio, supplementing her studio work by anatomical studies at the Ecole de Medicine under M. Chicotot. In summer time the sisters sketched in England. Switzerland and France, drawing fresh inspiration from nature and travel and taking home collections of sketches for their winter's work.

In 1886 the Misses Durgin returned to America and opened a studio in Boston. Welcomed to the best society, in which they naturally found a home, the sisters began work, each in her own field of art.

# Women in the Life of Balzac/Preface

In presenting this study of Balzac's intimate relations with various women, the author regrets her inability, owing to war conditions, to consult a few books which are out of print and certain documents which have not appeared at all in print, notably the collection of the late Vicomte de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul.
The author gladly takes this opportunity of acknowledging her deep gratitude to various scholars, and wishes to express, even if inadequately, her appreciation of their inspiring contact; especially to Professor Chester Murray and Professor J. Warshaw for first interesting her in the great possibilities of a study of Balzac. To Professor Henry Alfred Todd she is grateful for his sympathetic scholarship, valuable suggestions as to matter and style, and for his careful revision of the manuscript; to Professor Gustave Lanson, for his erudition and versatile mind, which have had a great influence; to Professor F. M. Warren, for reading a part of the text and for many general ideas; to Professor Fernand Baldensperger, for reading the text and for encouragement; to Professor Gilbert Chinard, Professor Earle B. Babcock and Professor LeBraz for re-reading the text and for valuable suggestions; and to Professor John L. Gerig for his sympathetic interest, broad information, and inspiring encouragement.
To still another would she express her thanks. The Princess Radziwill has taken a great interest in this work, which deals so minutely with the life history of her aunt, and she has been most gracious in giving the author much information not to be found in books. She has made many valuable suggestions, read the entire manuscript, and approved of its presentation of the facts involved.

# Yale Literary Magazine/Volume 85/Issue 752/As One Who Leaves His Birthplace when a Child

Same as "The Mother Country"
AS ONE WHO LEAVES HIS BIRTHPLACE WHEN A CHILD.
As one who leaves his birthplace when a child. And grows, transplanted to another site, All but forgetful of the scenes that smiled Into those years a formative delight. Who then returns to stroll about the spot And spy on his own infancy, there start Dim intimations of the past, deep-wrought. Imperishable legends of the heart; So the American that stands once more On English soil where his forefathers stood, Church-yard and park are half-remembered lore, And shadowy recollections throng the wood. The ancient rings lie ever at the core, And England's image sleeps in English blood.

WINTER NIGHT.
O magical the winter night. Illusory this stretch Of scarce imaginable greys. So shadowy a sketch Only the fading inks of spirit-artistry can etch!
Here, is nor dawn nor eventide nor any light we know, This ghostly incandescence and unearthly afterglow, This far-spread conflagration of the fields of snow
That pales the clouds, snow-laden, and blanches all the night, As though in place of moon and stars some spectral satellite. Cast glamor on the earth and floods of violet light.
The wraithlike landscape glimmers, valley, lake and hill, Unutterably patient! Intolerably still! No inclination of a leaf nor songster's trill.
....So could one stand an hour, a day, a century, Breathless!....What frozen silence. What immobility. As of some grey unfinished world in age-long reverie.
O whither have you vanished, treading the leaves of fall, Bright spirit of the summer, leaving the scene in thrall To silence? To what springtime, far, far, beyond recall?
What far retreat of being, what ebbing of the flood Of life to bless far landscapes anew with leaf and bud, Has left this prospect passionless and charmed this stricken wood?
And yet, from depths how distant, that tide of green shall rise, And that bright spirit come again with April in her eyes, And winter's drear prostrations be amuséd memories.
Amos Wilder.

# Yale Literary Magazine/Volume 85/Issue 759/Campus Evening Hymn

CAMPUS EVENING HYMN.
All the Yard is filled with song, Dying voices sound along Yonder ivied walls. Strains of many years ago Still prolong themselves as though Old-time students strolling go Still amid the halls.
Hark! the footfalls of the past! Many a graduate at last Comes back to the fold. Time has peopled with its throngs All the walks—and Yale belongs To the vanished, while their songs Echo as of old.
Old-time student choristers, Arm in arm, sing ancient airs Strolling down the grass; Many a call and many a shout From the past still ring about, Windows fall and lights go out, Shadows greet and pass.
So may we in other years Compensate life's long arrears When age overwhelms, So in other, distant days Come again those lyric ways, Spirits, hither turn our gaze, Haunting still the elms.
