# The New Student's Reference Work/University of California

See also University of California, Berkeley on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​University of California, one of the largest and most important state universities in America, is situated at Berkeley, Cal., on San Francisco Bay. The view over the bay is strikingly beautiful. In addition to the buildings at Berkeley, which include an open air auditorium, built in the Greek style and with a seating capacity of 7,500, the University maintains the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton; a University farm at Davisville, Yolo County, where practical agriculture and related sciences are taught; a laboratory of plant pathology at Whitten and a marine biological laboratory near San Diego. Its usefulness is greatly broadened ​by a department of university extension, and an institute of medical research founded in 1913. The growth of the university has been very rapid. In athletics a system of football has been developed which, it is asserted, is more scientific than the Rugby and safer than the American game. It is a result of study and experiment and has been carefully worked out.
# The New Student's Reference Work/University Extension

See also Continuing education on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​University Exten′sion, a branch of educational work of English origin, whose object is to extend the advantages of higher education to the people at large. The university center organizes lecture courses along lines likely to be popular with the surrounding population, especially in such subjects as literature, economics, art, history and science, and sends out, upon request, a lecturer, usually one of its own professors, to give a series of lectures at intervals of one week or two weeks in some one general field. The success of these lectures depends largely upon the ability of the lecturer to adapt his matter to the interests and capacity of his audience.
The best university extension centers use various means in addition to the lectures to enhance results. Syllabi of the courses, with references for home reading, are often given, and selections of books known as travelling libraries loaned by the university. Discussions and questions at the close of the lecture or special classes for discussion give a vital touch to the subject, and enable the lecturer to drive home the main principles and explain obscure points. In some instances local examinations are held at the close of the series of lectures, and university credit given. A small fee is usually charged for lectures.

# The New Student's Reference Work/United States Steel Corporation

See also U.S. Steel on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​United States Steel Cor′pora′tion. This corporation is the world's greatest combination of capital. It was organized under the laws of New Jersey in March, 1901, being formed from ten large corporations, each of which was itself a consolidation of several smaller companies. Its total capitalization is $1,404,000,000, or nearly half of all the money in the United States; it represents one sixty-seventh of the total wealth of the United States in 1900. The corporation, when founded, exercised direct and positive control over 213 manufacturing and transporting plants and companies and over 41 mines in 18 states. One hundred of the manufacturing plants were in Pennsylvania, 51 in Ohio, 15 in Illinois, 12 in Indiana, 12 in New York and the rest scattered from Connecticut to California. Its mines furnished more than half of the total production of iron-ore in the United States, four fifths of the bessemer steel and two thirds of the steel rails. It controlled 1,000 miles of railroads and a lake-fleet of 112 vessels, one third of the tonnage on the northern lakes. By “community of ownership” it controlled the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania, thousands of miles of railroads and an ocean steamship line. It has rapidly increased its holdings. The company controls steel interests in America. Our steel exports in 1900 were valued at $130,000,000. Manufacturers of other countries look upon this concentration of interests as a strengthening of American exporting capacity.

See also University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​University of Illinois, at Urbana, Ill., was founded by the state upon the donation by the national government of scrip for 480,000 acres of land. On account of this ​grant the state pays the university interest at the rate of five per cent. on about $495,000. The university was incorporated in 1867 as Illinois Industrial University, and was opened to students in 1868. In 1885 the legislature changed the name to University of Illinois. It includes the college of literature and arts, college of engineering, college of science, college of agriculture, graduate school, school of library science, school of music, college of law, college of medicine and school of pharmacy. The value of its property and assets is estimated at $1,600,000. It has 609 instructors, 4,920 students and 101,481 volumes in its library. See Illinois.

# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/Our movements

OUR MOVEMENTS.
Since the appearance of the first number of the North Star, we have been actively engaged in addressing public meetings in various towns in this and the State of Massachusetts, and doing our best to extend the subscription list of our paper. On the 4th December, in company with our friend Remond and Delany we held a meeting in Mendon; the weather was cold and otherwise inclement, and our meeting was held in the school house.—Friends meeting house having been closed against us on the ground that our views differed from theirs. We asked one of them if he thought the Methodists acted generously and honorably in sometimes opening their doors and allowing ministers of the society of Friends free access to their pulpits to set forth their views! He was slow to answer, clearly seeing the dilemma into which it would place those who had been instrumental in closing the doors against us. We held two meetings the next day in the same place; C. L. Remond and M. R. Delany both spoke, and with excellent effect. We have also held meetings in LeRoy, Darien, Pine Hill and Rochester, and have spoken at Boston, Lynn and Marblehead, Massachusetts.
Our friend and co-laborer, M. R. Delany, is now on a visit to his family in Pittsburgh, Pa., and will probably remain absent from Rochester during the present winter, as he intends to travel and hold meetings in Cincinnati, and many towns in the State of Ohio before his return. We hope to be able, to keep our readers constantly advised of his persevering efforts.
# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/Song of the Season

SONG OF THE SEASON. by Eliza Cook.
Look out, look out, there are shadows about; The forest is donning its doublet of brown, The willow tree sways with a gloomier flout, Like a beautiful face with a gathering frown. 'Tis true we all know that summer must go,— That the swallow will never stay long in our eaves; Yet we'd rather be watching the wild rose blow, Than be counting the colours of Autumn leaves.
Look high, look high, there's the lace-winged fly, Thinking he's king of a fairy realm, As he swings with delight on the gossamer tie That is linked 'mid the boughs of the sun-tipp'd elm. Alas, poor thing, the first rustle will bring The pillars to dust, when your pleasure-clue weave, And many a spirit, like thine, will bring, To hopes that depend upon Autumn leaves.
Look low, look low, the night-gusts blow, And the restless forms in hectic red, Come whirling and spouting wherever we go, Lighter in dancing, as nearer the dead! Oh, who has not seen rare hearts, that have been Painted and puling, in garb that deceives Dashing gaily along in their fluttering sheen With Despair at the core, like Autumn leaves.
Look on, look on, morn breaketh upon The hedge-row boughs, in their withering hue; The distant orchard is sallow and wan, But the apple and nut gleam richly through. Oh, well will it be, if our life, like the tree, Shall be found, when old Time of green beauty bereaves, With the fruit of good works for the Planter to see, Shining out in Truth's harvest, through Autumn leaves.
Merrily pours, as it sings and soars, The west wind over the lands and seas, Till it plays in the forest and moans and roars, Seeming no longer a mirthful breeze. So music is blest, till it meeteth a breast That is probed by the strain, while memory grieves To think it was sung by a loved one at rest,— Then it comes like the sweet wind in Autumn leaves.
Not in an hour are leaf and flower Strickened in freshness, and swept to decay; By gentle approaches, the frost and the shower Make ready the sap vines for falling away. And so is man made to as peacefully fade, By the tear that he sheds and the sigh that he heaves, For he's loosened from earth by each trial-cloud's shade, Till he's willing to go, as the Autumn leaves.
Look back, look back, and you'll find the track Of human hearts, strewn thickly o'er With joy's dead leaves, all dry and black, And every year still flinging more. But the soil is fed, where the branches are shed, For the furrow to bring forth fuller sheaves, And so is our trust in the Future spread In the gloom of Mortality's Autumn leaves.

# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/The Homestead Journal

​☞ The "Homestead Journal" published at Salem, Ohio, devotes more than a column to a notice of the North Star, and handies us roughly and as carelessly as he would do an unsound potato; toward us his eye is evil, and his whole body is full of darkness; however sacred in his eyes may be the land, he shows himself thoroughly divested of any high regard for man. For any man to talk about white slavery in this country in connection with black slavery, is to use words deceitfully. We shall try to examine the land reform movement, and shall venture to speak on that subject as well as others, as soon as our opinion shall have reached an intelligent maturity.
# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/Notices of new publications

NOTICES OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.
A Letter to the Citizens or the United States. By the Rev. Theodore Parker.
This is another stunning bolt from the heaven of thought, upon the head of American Slavery. In the pamphlet before us, we have one of the most concise, powerful, and thorough examinations of Slavery, with which we have met during the course of our anti-slavery reading. Mr. Parker has examined the subject in its various bearings, and has shown himself as much at home in its political and economical, as in its religious and moral aspects. The letter should find a place in every family, and be read and pondered by every person in the land. We regret that our limits forbid a more lengthy notice of this pamphlet. We may give our readers a few extracts from it next week. Meanwhile, we hope to receive copies of the work with which to supply such persons as may wish to read it.
Narrative or the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave; written by himself.
The Eleventh Thousand of this work is just published, and may be had at this office, price 35 cents. It passed through nine editions in England, and has been translated into French and German.
A Lecture delivered before the Female Anti-slavery Society of Salem, at Lyceum Hall, Nov. 14, 1847. By William W. Brown, a fugitive slave.
We hare received a copy of this able lecture, recently delivered by our friend and brother, William W. Brown. Mr. Brown is well known in Western New York as an efficient laborer in the anti-slavery field. He declared his independence of slavery but a few years since.
Narrative of William W. Brown.
This interesting and useful publication is now passing through a second edition. It is altogether worthy of a wide circulation. Copies of this work may be obtained at that office.
# The North Star (Rochester)/1848/01/07/Song of the American Eagle

From the New York Tribune. SONG OF THE AMERICAN EAGLE. by a Lady of Vermont.
I build my nest on the mountain's crest, Where the wild winds rock my eaglets to rest; Where the lightnings flash, and the thunders crash, And the roaring torrents foam and dash; For my spirit free henceforth shall be, A type of the sons of Liberty.
Aloft I fly, from my eyrie high, Through the vaulted dome of the azure sky; On a sunbeam bright take my airy flight, And float in a flood of liquid light; For I love to play in the noontide ray, And bask in a blaze from the throne of Day.
Away I spring with a tireless wing, On a feathery cloud I poise and swing; I dart down the steep where the lightnings leap, And the clear blue canopy swiftly sweep; For dear to me is the revelry Of a free and fearless Liberty.
I love the land where the mountains stand, Like the watchtowers high of a patriot band; For I may not bide, in my glory and pride, Though the land be never so fair and wide, Where Luxury reigns o'er voluptuous plains, And fetters the freeborn soul in chains.
Then give to me in my flights to see The land of the pilgrims ever free; And I ne'er will rove from the haunts I love, But watch, from my sentinel track above, Your banner free over land and sea, And exult in your glorious destiny.
Oh, guard ye well the land where I dwell, Lest to future times the tale I tell, When slow expires in smoldering fires The goodly heritage of your sires, How Freedom's light rose clear and bright From fair Columbia's beacon-height, Till ye quenched the flame in a starless night.
Then will I tear from your pennon fair The stars ye set in triumph there! My olive-branch on the blast I'll launch, The fluttering stripes from the flag-staff wrench! And away I'll flee, for I scorn to see A craven race in the land of the free.
D.
Brandon, Vermont, Jan. 1844.
# The Sources and Analogues of 'A Midsummer-Night's Dream'/Queen Mab
## Queen Mab

    Satyr
    This is Mab, the mistress fairy,
    That doth nightly rob the dairy,
    And can hunt or help the churning
    As she please without discerning.
    She that pinches country wenches
    If they rub not clean their benches,
    And with sharper nails remembers
    When they rake not up their embers;
    But if so they chance to feast her,
    In a shoe she drops a tester.
    This is she that empties cradles,
    Takes out children, puts in ladles;
    Trains forth midwives in their slumber,
    With a sieve the holes to number,
    And then leads them from her boroughs
    Home through ponds and water-furrows.
    She can start our franklins' daughters,
    In her sleep, with shrieks and laughters,
    And on sweet St. Anna's night
    Feed them with a promised sight—
    Some of husbands, some of lovers,
    Which an empty dream discovers.
          BEN JONSON, masque of A Satyr (1603).
# The Sources and Analogues of 'A Midsummer-Night's Dream'/The Fairies' Farewell
### A Proper New Ballad, intituled
## The Fairies' Farewell: Or God-a-mercy Will

(To be sung or whistled to the Tune of the Meadow Brow by the learned; by the unlearned, to the Tune of Fortune.)
    Farewell rewards and Fairies!
       Good housewives, now you may say;
    For now foul sluts in dairies
       Do fare as well as they;
    And though they sweep their hearths no less
       Than maids were wont to do,
    Yet who of late for cleanliness
       Finds sixpence in her shoe?
    Lament, lament old abbeys,
       The fairies' lost command;
    They did but change priests' babies;
       But some have changed your land;
    And all your children sprung from thence
       Are now grown Puritans,
    Who live as changelings ever since
       For love of your demesnes.
    At morning and at evening both
       You merry were and glad,
    So little care of sleep or sloth
       These pretty ladies had.
    When Tom came home from labour,
       Or Ciss to milking rose,
    Then merrily, merrily went their tabour,
       And nimbly went their toes.
    Witness those rings and roundelays
       Of theirs, which yet remain,
    Were footed in Queen Mary's days
       On many a grassy plain.
    But since of late Elizabeth
       And later James came in,
    They never danced on any heath,
       As when the time hath bin.
    By which we note the fairies
       Were of the old profession;
    Their songs were Ave Maries,
       Their dances were procession.
    But now, alas! they all are dead,
       Or gone beyond the seas,
    Or farther for religion fled,
       Or else they take their ease.
    A tell-tale in their company
       They never could endure;
    And whoso kept not secretly
       Their mirth, was punished sure:
    It was a just and Christian deed
       To pinch such black and blue:
    O how the common-wealth doth [need]
       Such justices as you!
    Now they have left our quarters;
       A Register they have
    Who looketh to their charters,
       A man both wise and grave.
    An hundred of their merry pranks
       By one that I could name
    Are kept in store; con twenty thanks
       To William for the same.
    To William Churne of Staffordshire
       Give laud and praises due,
    Who every meal can mend your cheer
       With tales both old and true:
    To William all give audience,
       And pray ye for his noddle:
    For all the fairies evidence
       Were lost, if it were addle.
          RICHARD CORBET (1582-1625),
             from Poetica Stromata (1648)
