...unburdened with debt. It has been the custom of all preceding classes to elect men who bring with them a reputation as leaders in the athletic sports at the academies whence they come, without allowing time enough to inquire into the merits and abilities of the several candidates. The result of this custom is, as was to be expected, that in the majority of cases these reputed leaders have failed to maintain their own prowess, as well as to discharge satisfactorily the executive and financial duties incumbent upon them. To avoid this undesirable result, it has been suggested that...
...that country. We trust that the stay of Professor Ko Kun Hua among us will be agreeable to him, and that the College will be able to profit by his services.

The double attraction of a new building and a professor of hygiene ought to make all students seek...
...crack it. With the crowbar of my brain, I rolled down huge scientific boulders, but with no effect whatever. I tried thawing; my fire was built of the arts, kindled with compliments, and the heat was raised with a strong blast of enthusiasm, but all with no result. I even swept the whole range of a young lady's conceits, from crimps to ceramics, and then got only a few monosyllabic replies. Surely Hercules in my shoes would have found a thirteenth labor. Yet if the old maxim properly valued silence, I had found a treasure; and I began...
