A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president", the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.


For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.


The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."



The president wasn't touched - he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."


"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.”


The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."


For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?"



Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

The Monster from Frankenstein
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a story about Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who creates a monster from body parts and a mysterious spark. Frankenstein is horrified by his creation and abandons the monster. The monster also finds it difficult to deal with how he looks and how people react to him. In addition, the monster feels abandoned by his creator. Over the course of the story, the monster shows numerous good and bad qualities, which proves that he is a complicated being.

The monster has several good qualities. Since he possesses the mind of a child, he displays a natural kindheartedness. The monster has a human side, but nobody notices it. When he feels lonely, he asks Victor Frankenstein to create a companion. This request shows that the monster has normal human feelings and desires. Moreover, at one point in the story, he tries to save a young girl’s life, which shows that he sees value in human life.

The monster also has several negative qualities. For one thing, he flies into a murderous rage whenever he is frustrated. He also commits murder to punish Frankenstein. The monster gives into his desire for revenge after Frankenstein destroys his companion. The monster is unable to control his urges to punish Frankenstein for this action.

Thus, Frankenstein is a complicated creature. The monster’s actions show readers that he has the capacity to follow the rules of society. Yet he is also capable of pushing the rules aside and giving into his dark side. In this sense, the monster is not that different from Frankenstein himself.

The word "anime" in English refers to an animation style popular in Japan. The word comes from the Japanese name for animation. Anime is heavily influenced by Japanese comics, manga, and features characters with enlarged eyes, big hair, long limbs, exaggerated expressions, limited motion, and brush-stroke outlines. Anime has a large audience both in and outside of Japan.

Anime is also considered a visual art form as it displays a wide range of drawing styles. Typically, anime and manga feature characters with large eyes so they can display emotions. Osamu Tezuka, who is believed to have been the first one to use this feature, was inspired by American characters such as Betty Poop, Bambi, and Mickey Mouse.
