...these better institutions and those that are mere high schools with long names. Even now the State contains seventeen institutions eligible to membership. It seems about time that some such move should be made. The country is overrun with little "colleges" and "universities" which are not known beyond a radius of ten miles. These give the degree of bachelor of arts to men and women, many of whom have received less of a liberal education than our preparatory schools offer. This is wholly wrong, as this title or degree is apparently of equal value with those given to graduates...
...female the articulation of the humorous with the ulna and radius is imperfect, thus causing a constant angle at the elbow. When, therefore, the racket hits a ball, it tends to knock it high up in the air. Some have said that this defect is the chief in causing the female to be a poor tennis player. The smallness of her ribs, thinness of the scapula, and shortness of the clavicle unite to prevent her from reaching high balls. These defects, together with the unusually large size of the triceps extensor muscle, make it hard for the female to serve...

...they are wanted. They could be very cheaply kept on Memorial or Fresh Pond soup, whichever is decided to be the most nutritious. You would have complete control of the market, because you would be sure to have ninety-five per cent of the small boys living within a radius of three miles. Prices could be arranged to suit the demand, varying inversely as the laziness of the boys, and directly as the laziness of the players; say twenty-five to tennis men, and at least twice as much to cricketers. This would yield a fair remuneration, perhaps...
...explain, and took me with him to the tutorial mansion. I was astonished to see the library-table covered with mathematical instruments, for he did not teach mathematics; the explanation soon came. He first showed me six trifling errors in my book; then he drew a circle with a radius of six inches, inscribed an equilateral triangle, and multiplied half its altitude by twenty; that gave forty-eight, my mark. I asked him to explain the principle on which he did it; but he replied that he had been a long time inventing the process, and knew...
