...many respects "The Stymie" is one of the most distinguished undergraduate offerings of the type appearing in recent years.

In the northern district are Eskimos, while in the interior regions are some tribes of Indians in a primitive state of civilization. The majority of the population is composed of English, Scotch, and Irish who have become illiterate and isolated in the course of the last three hundred years.
