We believe (and who will disagree?) it is impossible to overstress the importance of perfection in shower fixtures. This shower is just like a woman, one moment hot, the next cold.

There will be the physical examination at the gymnasium, the psychological examination in the laboratory...
Great worry could be attached to such an alarming predicament were it not for the sanity and perseverance of the business department of this paper. With Premier Haldwin as their guide and sana means in corpore sano as their motto they are standing, bloody but unbowed before the rushing legions of adversity. So none need fear any revolution in Cambridge. Plus as change--as Talley-rand might comment--plus c'est la meme chose...
