...apparatus for resting places instead of for its legitimate purpose. Of course it is most likely that such things as these are due to thoughtlessness, and so for a time they may be excused, byt before long, every one who frequents the gymnasium should know by heart the unwritten code which governs its use. In particular no one should occupy any one piece of apparatus more than two or three minutes,-unless we except the chest weights, and in the intervals of exercise one should be careful not to interfere with others.

He was one of the committee of Naval Affairs who drew up the rules and regulations which are the basis of our present naval code, and was the ablest advocate of the Declaration of Independence during the three days debate in congress. He was supposed to have greatly hastened business by the unparalleled oratorical outburst of; "Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my heart and my hand to this vote...
