Under this system, if the military units still want to teach their liberalized subjects, they would do well to concentrate this material in the first two years, leaving the more technical detail for the later, credit-lean years In the first place, those students dropped from the corps after two year cannot use the straight military subject matter. And if the advanced courses were just routine memorization they would require less work...
...hope of coming up with a better solution before the new support year ends, Benson last week called a "work conference" of dairymen and Agriculture Department experts to study the whole problem.

But as the boy grew, the father found time to take him into the mountains on innumerable weekend trips...

Auden and Chester Kallman as an 18th century moral fable, The Rake's book pointed its moral more in irony than in earnestness, had a minimum of dramatic action onstage, and for its biggest bit of comedy wagged its lean finger at a bearded lady.
