...reference to the need of an elementary course in Anatomy and Physiology. The popularity of the course formerly conducted by Professor James would prove this, if proof were needed; but, when we consider the number of students whose special pursuits are connected with this study, and the still larger number who have a general interest in the subject, we need not search further for evidence that the course is desirable. As an aid to the intelligent appreciation of art and the more thorough knowledge of athletic development, the study of anatomy is of no little service; and even to those...
...Rosa was the larger boat, but, with all Mr. Carlin's boasted seamanship, she was not well managed. 'I 'm ruther afeerd ther's a storm comin',' muttered Captain Scuffles, with an anxious look; and he let loose the sheets a little. The vessel careened and shivered, and leapt forward over the waves. It was now past noon, and the captain opened the suspiciously large package, and passed it to me.

...compelled to devote a disproportional part of their time to Forensics. Besides, what are the advantages of their restriction? Apparently none. It would certainly be more interesting to the instructor to read Forensics on a variety of topics, and if the number of subjects to select from was larger, it would be much fairer, as more men could take a subject with which they are somewhat acquainted, or perhaps have made a specialty of. We believe that we are speaking the sentiments of a majority of the Senior Class when we ask that the number of the subjects hereafter...
