...which many people find it hard to believe. It seems to them unnatural and as its truth can not be absolutely proved, they refuse to accept it. Yet the belief in immortality is something necessary for the existence of life on earth. What would all that we do here amount to, what would be the inducement to work and patience, if there were nothing to look to beyond the grave? Look a little more closely at nature and at history. Has it not often happened that what has seemed to come to an end and to have accomplished nothing...
...receipts of games. The crew, therefore, is the only organization which will ask for support. Since the nine will leave the field of subscriptions wholly clear for the crew, the football debt ought, in justice, to be paid by the latter.

The laboratory work will be somewhat varied to suit the wants of the individual students. Only those can take this course who have a good previous knowledge of mineralogy and crystallography...
...elaborate placards announcing the play. These have been posted in the usual places and most of them have promptly been torn away. Even to men who have no direct interest in the play, this thievery will seem unusually despicable. The play is a large venture,-represents an immense amount of work, and is, at least, entitled to be unmolested. The placards have been put on sale and can be obtained for a few cents. The management expects that many men will desire the placards and has provided this legitimate means for obtaining them. A grain of honor will make...
