...especially of '87, have as yet signed the book at Leavitt & Peirce's. '87 and '88 are the only classes in college who had the good fortune to participate in the last presidential torchlight procession. Remembering how important and successful a feature the drum, fife and bone battalion then was, we are not surprised at this present hesitation to sign among the ranks, as long as there is any prospect of repeating the last musical experience. We urge, however, that the proper authority may soon make it clearly known whether we are to have a drum corps, following the lead...
...brain from two directions. The lecturer gave a vivid exposition of these various arteries by painting them on the naked body of a young boy, who stood the ordeal well. The proper place for pressure to stop the flow of blood, are the neck, behind the collar-bone, the inner side of the upper arm, the part over the hip bone, and the inside of the thigh. Hot and cold applications are also...
...fluid should be given; especially are ammonia and alcoholic stimulants dangerous. The application of external warmth is excellent. Sprains and bruises are smaller injuries.

...drawing air into the lungs. The enlargement of the pleura forces the air out of the air cells, thin walls are brought into contact with each other, and the whole lung in an airless condition may be pressed into the back part of the chest alongside of the back bone, where it lies as useless, as far as breathing is concerned, as a strip of leather. The same results may follow from the destruction of the elastic fibre of the lung, which takes such an active share in driving out the air expiration. Impurities in the air are breathed...
...ordinary easy breathing most of the work is done by the action of the diaphragm, a large muscle which separates the abdomen from the chest. It is fastened to the ribs and the back bone and it arches upward; when it contracts it flattens, and by pulling on the base of the chest, makes it larger. This enlargement of the chest is also performed by little muscles between intercostals. They raise the ribs from their oblique position. In ordinary healthy respiration the current of air passes in and out of the lungs through the nose, not through the mouth...
