...that baked beans must be preserved even if the pork law has to be changed for their benefit.

Indeed, Daniel was cast into the lions' den for not bowing before Darius' idol; if the commissioners had erred they might have suffered similarly and as a penalty for snubbing the sacred bean they would doubtless have been cast into the Cambridge Subway, there to meet their fate...
...thank God for his mercy. It is indeed deplorable that at this time, when patriotism should be at its highest, such an organization, its sentiments so alien to the past ideals of the University and its present patriotic record, should come before the public, bearing the name "Harvard."

It has, on the contrary, been observed again and again that the only singers whose voices have been seriously...
...still clamoring for place), predicts an easy victory, provided Bennett does not finish his three-thirty in time to relieve Blackall in the box. He and his men were a picturesque sight yesterday afternoon taking their workout on Soldiers Field; they hope in case of victory today to slap their gloves in the faces of the Verein, the Cercle, and last, their old friend Lampy, himself his sweetest joke...
