...varsity race, the eight crews stayed bunched within two lengths, with M. I. T. in front at the start, Cornell at the quarter, Columbia and Washington at the half and California at the mile. Sitting straight in their slides, the California men pulled with a quick leg-and-arm stroke that looked tiring; but it had not tired them at the end of the second mile and they were still rowing smoothly in first place at the railroad bridge a mile farther down. The fourth mile of the race, from the bridge to the finish, was really a race between...
...sheaf of memories, and the name of Harvard. They have obtained more than they can ever give. They have seen the cabs drive up in an October fog to the Somerset, they have seen Sever in twilight, they have heard great men, they have wandered home at night arm and arm singing, they have spent money, and danced and drank, and studied.

The hand, attempting to grasp something, may remain fixed in that position, and is relaxed with difficulty. In the early years the patient may learn to walk after a fashion, and the gait is quite characteristic. The toes scrape along the floor, the heels are not brought down, and the spasm of the thigh muscles forces the individual to move in a cross-legged fashion. Speech is difficult, and not infrequently profuse salivation with drooling tends to reflect against the normal mentality of the patient...
