...machine. In England, where the bicycle has been gaining rapidly in popularity since its invention and adoption, the physicians who know the machines thoroughly and have had many opportunities to study the effects of their usage, are very warm in their praise of the rubber-shod horse, and often use them themselves in making their various calls...
...should have been a force on the right hand and on the left of their brothers to protect their reputation and assert their merit." "Harvard indifference" again, we hear Snodkins whisper! They truly claim, I think, "that the poetico-bombastick style of newspaper eloquence, which has been often and liberally ascribed to college, is as little the defect of our execution, as the object of our ambition." Very bitterly they continue: "The world without cares for nothing but politicks and commerce and news; it is a money-making, quarrelsome world of vandals; it cannot understand our Latin nor our Greek...
...Both the Trinity and the Bowdoin affairs seem to have been aggravated cases.

It will be both economical and convenient; economical, because we can then deal direct with the laundry and avoid the importunings of tradesmen to buy articles which we seldom want but often have forced upon us by such remarks as "willing to accommodate you," "no hurry for the money." It is a well known fact that the laundry is used as a "draw." Many of us are thus victimized. We come here knowing little about the management of finances, run up bills which...
