...depravity of which inanimate things (so called) are capable. So called, I say. For in reality inanimate is an entire misnomer. A log, for example, is generally looked upon as about as lifeless as anything can be, - a very symbol, in fact, of inertia. And, indeed, a log upon land does not often exhibit its real disposition. But once get a log into the water and it will appear in its true character. At first you may not suppose that it has altered in any way, for it may lie perfectly motionless.

...Paul's Society, and has received notice in the Advocate. A few words of additional explanation may, however, be acceptable to those who have not been familiar with the project from its start. The St. Paul's Society desires the Corporation to assign to it a convenient lot of land, such as that on which the old gymnasium stands, or that which lies north-east of Appleton Chapel.

That settles...
...question, then, seems to be this: Should a student who has occupied a certain piece of land for tennis playing in the fall or spring, have a prior claim (prior, that is to say, to that of his fellow-students) to the use of that land for the same purpose in the following spring or fall? We think that he should. For in the case of land not belonging, by natural right, to either of two persons, that one most assuredly has the better claim to its occupancy who has expended most labor and money upon its improvement. The improvements...
