Then he will bend, stretch, stoop in 30 minutes of calisthenics, plunge into steam and Finnish baths, face up to an "iron virgin"−drenching device which bombards the body with water from high-pressure jets.

...protest the stealing (because it is stealing) of furniture and appointments from our premises. I deplore the fact that after being graciously entertained, Harvard men should forget their breeding and stoop to what they consider a prank, stealing lamps, mirrors, vases, and other appointments.
