...curious part of the whole affair was with myself. I had no body. I call this circumstance a curious one, but this is rather an after thought; at that time it did not seem at all peculiar. I had all my usual perceptions about me. I saw everything that was in the room, heard what the children were saying, felt the warmth of the fire. What was the need of a body? True I could not move; but, in such pleasant surroundings, I was well content to stay where I was. So, in fact, it was not until I thought...
During the moment that I remained staring at this apparition of myself, the thought dawned upon me, with the ready intuition common to dreams, that this was my missing body.

Our students do not, it is true, step forward with any too much readiness to support the college papers, but when once the true nature of the case is put before them, we do not have...
Never before have there been so many men trying for the Mott Haven team as this year. This is due in part to the impetus given to all branches of general athletics by the appointment of Mr. Lathrop, and to the untiring efforts of the officers of the H. A. A. in bringing out new men, and in offering inducements to steady work on the part of the older...
