...expenses, which would be slight after the plant was put in, the college could certainly find the means. For supplying the plant either a popular subscription might be raised or some one of the friends of education be appealed to for funds. Many men would be willing to stand their share if the first method were to be adopted, for it would enable them at such crowded times as the present to get a better chance at the books on the reference shelves, to suit their own convenience better in their use of the library, and to have a well...

Your muscles at this stage will not be hard enough to stand the strain, and if you try this you will be sore and stiff for at least a week. If you are as I say, corpulent, take Turkish baths and long walks for about a week or ten days, by which time you will be ready to begin work. When...
