...little effort made to stir up an interest in temperance matters by any discussions of questions bearing upon the subject. It is quite laudable for a temperance man to keep sober, but if we would make headway against our opponents or even hold our own sufficiently to command their respect, we must do more. We must work. This spirit is spreading all over the country, and is especially growing strong towards the West. Thousands of dollars are spent annually to carry elections in the interest of liquor men, and on almost every corner discussions of temperance questions arise, the warmth...
...foundation and be drained off. But instead of this being done a layer of small rocks and gravel was laid, and this covered with a layer of ashes and fine gravel. Of course this would tend to form a concrete and become very hard and would be in no respect equal to the former as a running track. It was all due to a misunderstanding, for the substances which the contractors put on are worth several times that which the contract specified.

...coach of the Columbia crew, in the conviction that "there is no living against such a gait as Yale has exhibited at times since she has been here," and the odds offered were largely in favor of the blue.

Yale's short, jerky strokes, 44 to the minute, pulls her quickly to the front, but Harvard keeps on with her long powerful stroke, pulling...
...consideration which they enjoy, not from their means, but from their position. The possession or acquisition of money is, therefore, not a sign of social success. A man's wife and children are not troubled by his not possessing it. Some of the most highly placed and respected men in the community live no better than the German professor does, entertain no better and have as little money as he has. Consequently the world at large in Germany does not associate failure or small value with a small salary. It has constantly before its eyes great and successful...
