...request which the Class Day Committee makes of seniors with regard to being measured for caps and gowns, should not pass unheeded. Each year the committee has been very much troubled by the dilatoriness of the men in the class, for which there is apparently no excuse but a thoughtless disregard of the convenience of others.

Some people with diseased nervous systems are utterly incapable of resisting the desire to drink it comes to them like a mania, while others have simply contracted the habit of indulgence from time to time. Although at one time alcohol was thought to pass through the system without suffering a change, it has been discovered more recently that it is destroyed in the system and in this sense...
