Besides stating the functions of all officers and describing the methods for appointments and elections, the constitution, in the preamble, attempts to define the theoretical purposes behind P. B. H. and to offer reasons for its existence. The conception is fundamental and sound that, besides acting as a center for the spreading of social, religious, and educational ideas, the duty of the House is to make the student volunteer aware of his obligation to his own community and on the basis of that awareness offer him the first chance to use his education valuably and practically for the benefit...
...service than they expected. In the pinkly flickering tubes of their televisors they could see King George stiffly standing before the Cenotaph in a Field Marshal's khaki-colored greatcoat, beyond him, the British Cabinet in funereal black, beyond them a double row of bluejackets rigidly at attention, behind them the windows of the Home Office where Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mother Mary watched the ceremony.

Well did Benjamin Allin know that it takes more than sound engineering, machinery and strong backs to build a port. The trick is to operate one.

Behind was a rich agricultural hinterland, ahead was the whole world to ship to and buy things from. And most of it could be handled a dollar a ton cheaper than by using the next nearest port, established and powerful San Francisco.

Potent argument of shipowners against recognition of Stockton is that with calls to make at perhaps dozens of inland ports, shipping rates must certainly rise beyond anything hitherto contemplated...
...acute cold, sneezing, running nose, harsh cough. Within 24 to 48 hours the special signs of measles appear on the inside surfaces of the cheeks and lips. These are bright red spots with minute bluish-white centres. On the fourth day of the attack, bluish red spots appear behind the ears, at the border of the hair, at the temples, at the back of the neck, and spread over the entire body. The rash usually lasts four days...
