...college, it would seem a good plan to organize a Harvard Bicycle Club. Perhaps the Athletic Association will, if unwilling to hold a field meeting, give a prize of some value for a long distance road-race of ten miles or more.

But this does not prevent our condemnation of his system of marking, which we regard as absolutely wrong. Solid substantial instruction is the main object in taking any elective...

I hurried on, but quickly the damp feeling was succeeded by a burning sensation, for the acid was beginning to eat into my flesh. Thoughts of the Inquisition, of martyrs, and of a four-column article in the local paper upon my untimely death flashed through my mind, and I dropped the bundle and began to run. I dashed up the stairs and into the room. Nell was there, waiting patiently for me. "Quick!" I yelled; "the ammonia." She handed it, and I poured...
