...difficulty, converted some barracks built by the government during the S. A. T. C. period, into stables. These now house their Artillery Unit's horses, equipment, and polo ponies. The work was done by the enlisted detachment stationed there, assisted by a few carpenters provided by the college, which bore what slight expense there was. Major Goetz believes that it would be possible to transfer some of the unused temporary stables now at Camp Devens to Soldiers Field, and set them up with but little outside help from carpenters. This expense and the incidental cost of building supplies would probably...
...Typee" and "Omoo" were gateways to wonderland in our youth, opening upon a region "where every prospect pleases" and only in the eyes of the European missionary is man ever vile.

This is our heritage--this is our duty on the stage of life; that courage, truth, and light shall dwell forever in the land of the Pilgrims...
...such remote scientific knowledge, as the special problem just mentioned has established, be of any practical use? Who can tell? Many years elapsed before Faraday's electrical experiments bore fruit in a practical electric lighting system and in the trolley car. The laws of nature can not be intelligently applied until they are understood. To understand them, however, many experiments bearing upon the fundamental nature of things must be made, and the unknown laws underlying the nature of elements are among the most fundamental of these laws of nature...
