...intelligent and lively class is naturally full of questions and to answer these the teacher must understand the causes of every change and peculiarity on the country's surface. Better to illustrate this point, Professor Davis took the case of waterfalls and explained, with stereopticon views, the different kinds of waterfalls classified according to a physical basis. The first case is where a stream comes to a cliff in its natural course and plunges over; second, where a stream falls over a bluff and gradually cuts its way through a layer of earth in certain places and thus causes...

...chance of becoming members of their crew as finally made up. Zeal was not lacking; it was simply physical inability that would not permit them to row on a crew that represents our freshmen. After much sifting sixteen men remain. They are not large men, but they are the kind that would or at least ought to make a good 'varsity crew if they were considerably larger. They are a wirey set of little fellows that are full of interest in the work and are determined to win if possible. It surely seems possible. Now, much can be done...
