Against all logic and reason, the North seemed unable to win in the East. The West was a different story, however, and slowly the federal vise tightened on the vital Mississippi. One improbable name, Ulysses S. Grant, stood out, and as defeat followed defeat in the East, Northerners still remembered his blunt demand for the "immediate and unconditional" surrender of Fort Donelson in 1862: "I propose to move immediately upon your works." Donelson surrendered. Finally in March 1864, Lincoln himself remembered, and Grant was given charge of all the Northern armies, Moving East to take personal command...
Nonsense & Nostalgia. Though the Dadaists were determined to break with what they considered the "spiritually bankrupt" styles of cubism and futurism, they borrowed many cubist techniques.

But just as obvious is the fact that many of the students who move off-campus do so because they are disenchanted with life in the houses and do not want to study in house libraries and play in house sports. Having granted a student permission to live outside of the house system, it is unfair to make him pay for the very house services from which he has clearly dissociated...
