...Peebles) a former Tutor himself, has exhumed a very amusing "Tutor Henry Flynt" from Harvard's past. The reviews are good, the fiction only fair, the poetry provacative but not good. Mother Advocate has done well to turn her head toward the questions which the Tercentenary brought to the fore, and the articles, both timely and highly interesting, will undoubtedly start discussions at both high table and Dudley Hall...
Anon Mr. Quincy with his discourse, great in matter and delivery.

The disease frequently is the sequel of some infection like scarlet fever or influenza. Nerves become inflamed, the inflammation progressing along nerve trunks and branches and indirectly causing muscles to waste away...
