Besides being a power in science, the balloon can also be used for recreation and pleasure. In Paris, large parties go up for the day. Once in the air, the balloonists drift over valleys and mountains and even rise above the clouds for short periods of time. The sensation of landing, if the airship is skillfully managed, is scarcely perceptible. As the balloon touches the ground, sand-bags are thrown out to lessen the shock. Frequently the balloon is carried along by a sudden wind, dragging basket and occupants over fences and through trees. To prevent such accidents; the ripping...

The constitution has provided for this admirably, but even the constitution is helpless in bringing it about unless the men turn out to vote. No written document can elect the right men to serve on a board of this or any other kind--it is a matter for every man in the University to take a hand in and see to it that those men are elected to whom they would most...
