Previous to the adoption of the constitution, paper money was issued by each colony on an independent basis. At first these notes circulated at their face value, but it was not long before they began to depreciate, and they were taken up by another issue and these later were in turn redeemed by still another issue of this paper money which by this time had fallen far below its face value. England was strongly opposed to the action of the colonies in putting this paper into circulation, and her opposition to it had more to do with the cause...
...Bowditch concluded that where a type exists among a group of faces the composite photograph can be trusted to give faithfully all that is typical of the several faces. Valuable applications of this principle have been made. For instance, composite photographs have been made of people suffering from a particular disease as a guide for doctors in forming a diagnosis. The effect of different studies such as mathematics and natural history on a face may be observed. If is a curious fact that a composite photograph is generally more beautiful than any one of the component pictures. Dr. Bowditch suggested...
...Philadelphia's would indicate. The fielding in this game, especially that of the infield was by far the worst during the trip.

...have seen, there was a revolution in rowing at Harvard. It was not until the early part of winter that Mr. Storrow, in the face of a certain amount of passive opposition, took the rather daring step, by engaging Mr. Faulkner as coach, of throwing overboard all those principles which, it is supposed, had won Harvard many a splendid victory. An entirely new system of rowing was inaugurated, and there was much grumbling and dubious head-shaking at the issue. Yale, on the contrary, was highly elated at Harvard's adoption of the "professional" stroke. Her crew, be it said...
