Moreover, there had to be special facilities for the electricity supply as well. the Nuclear Laboratory uses so much power that a new sub-station had to be built. (The University buys its electricity at very high voltage and builds all the sub-stations to step it down. It is cheaper that way.) The Laboratory also sports a 250 kilowatt generator to supply the DC power for the cyclotron's magnetic field...
Lake the John Reed Club, religion, is being driven underground at Harvard. Forced to the damp sub-cellars of Eliot House, faith, like a frightened and desperate mongoose, flees the heights.

Because of the estimated big carryover of 425 million bushels as of July 1, there will be plenty of wheat this year for bread, breakfast cereals...
...urge seems to be produced by a conscious desire to learn, a sub-conscious desire to mature, and an unconscious desire to double-cross the double standard. It leads the Wellesley woman to take herself and her role in life pretty seriously.
