...leader in science who declared himself to be at the same time an evolutionist, a theist and a believer in the Nicene creed. Gray was like Darwin in respect to the religious use which he made of evolution.

The library remains open only during the day time...
...come under my personal observation. It is that of a student in the Worcester Tech, some two years ago, who was so injured by the terrible strain of a tug-of-war that for months after he did not leave his bed. His whole life long he will suffer from his injuries. Similar cases are not so very rare. The danger is recognized by our rowing men, as witness the fact that no crew man is allowed to anchor...
