m We walk over the lovely College Campus, where various memorials bear eloquent testimony to the classes that left these reminders of their day, and stand under the shadow of class-trees of bygone years. We enter the extensive pleasure grounds, and stand on Lover ' s Leap — not the Leucadian cape of woe, where burning Sappho loved and sung, and finally cast her- self headlong, but our own Lover ' s Leap, where the unlucky person who falls might get into a crop of stinging nettles, but nothing worse.
