Appleton will be the permanent stroke. Their stroke this year is slower than last, and all the power seems to be put in at the beginning, causing the boat to jerk forward, which serious defects...

Scarcely a day passes but we are flattered with the information that the famous Mr. So-and-So, the netted scholar and author, or Mr. Blank, the world-renowned actor, has been visiting the college. It cannot be said, however, that the role of posing as a phenomenon...
