...north, this intrepid explorer, finding his vessel, the "Fram," solidly frozen in the ice, started with one companion, Johansen, for the unknown regions of the North Pole. They left their vessel, equipped with three sledges, two kyacks, and twenty-eight dogs, with provisions for the dogs for thirty days, and for themselves for one hundred days. When this stock was exhausted they lived on seal, walrus and bear meat, when they could get it. The account of the months these two hardy men spent in the polar regions is most thrilling.

The work is not at all technical, the style is pleasant...
...courses have been arranged in groups with the utmost care, and the only wonder is that the difficulty is not greater. But still many parallel courses in different departments conflict. For example, Philosophy One and Economics Two, two natural companion courses, interfere, as do also Government One, Fine Arts Four and Latin B.
