...CRIMSON is now. The "Crimson" was like the "Advocate" in form, but it came out every week. It contained editorials on college matters, short sketches, occasional verse, considerable athletic news, and many items such as now appear in the CRIMSON'S "Fact and Rumor" column. The "Advocate," then smaller than at present, laid more pretence to literary excellence than the "Crimson." In addition to the editorials, sketches, etc., it published short stories and essays.

Each of these enters the lung on its own side, and then splits up into a number of smaller branches. The smallest bronchial tubes at last end in little sacs which are air cells.

The water here rises to a height of 45 feet above the level of the reservoir, and by this means, some of the houses in Cambridge which stand on very high ground and otherwise could not be provided with water, are kept fully supplied with it. It is a great pity that the Halls in the college yard do not derive any direct benefit from this splendid system...
