PROBLEM: After the success of this book, pilgrims to the church depicted in "Hughley Steeple" were dismayed to discover that not only did it not have a graveyard full of suicides, it didn't even have a steeple. Featuring such poems as "The Welsh Marshes," "The Day of Battle," and "The Immortal Part," its longest poem states that "malt does more than Milton can / To justify God's ways to man. " FTP, name this 1896 work, which includes "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" and "To An Athlete Dying Young," a collection of verse by A. E. Housman.

PROBLEM: His death, called providential by Charles Sumner, fell on the same day his home state abolished slavery. After both Louis McLane and William Duane refused to pull the government's funds out of the Second Bank of the United States, the duty fell to this man in his role as Jackson's Secretary of the Treasury. He had earlier been Attorney General, and afterwards was appointed to his most famous position, from which he issued opinions in such cases as Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge and Ex parte Merryman. FTP, name this Supreme Court Chief Justice who most famously presided over Dred Scott.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: Grossman and Steele studied ameboid inclusions of this mineral in the Allende meteorite. Pallasite meteorites contain crystals of this mineral, which when exposed to aqueous silica transforms into serpentinite. On the surface, the Goldich dissolution series predicts that this mineral weathers to iddingsite, and elongated crystals of this material create fabrics in the "lattice-preferred orientation", creating a large source of seismic anisotropy in one layer. At a depth of around 410 kilometers, this mineral undergoes a phase transition to the polymorph (*) wadsleyite. The solid solution series for this mineral varies from the magnesium-rich forsterite to the iron-rich fayalite. This mineral is the predominant component of the upper mantle. This mineral, which consists of isolated silicate tetrahedral, often occurs in ultramafic rocks and is present immediately above pyroxene in the discontinuous branch of Bowen's reaction series. For 10 points, name this mineral whose gem-quality version is called peridot and is named for its green color.
