It is closer than it has ever been to its ideal of "veritas," for like a true democracy, it puts its trust in the common sense of the individual and offers him every school of thought from which to choose his own. Its classes contain men from more strata of society, its lecture rooms are the goal of more men, its prestige and influence are felt farther abroad than ever before...

He believes that the meteoritic clumps corresponding to these humps can be reached by sinking a shaft straight down through rock undisturbed by the meteorite's passage, then drifting sidewise through the troublesome watery strata which were broken by the impact. Even if the meteoritic bodies weigh no more than a million tons, at present prices they should be worth...
