Taking as his slogan--"everybody a forward", he went on to say that there was no real defence but in attack, and that every man except the goal-guard should have scoring as his primary objective...
With the conception that its rightful position is that of a mere gazette of University news the CRIMSON has little sympathy. It believes that it fulfills a more vital function--the function of presenting truthfully and in an interesting manner all the news of the University, and of expressing and guiding the opinion of the undergraduate body.

In man and other living things, energy is stored up, and the flow from positive to negative keeps going oxidation, movement and the other vital processes. The greater the difference in electrical potential, the greater energy the body possesses. Work spends it. Fatigue makes the difference less. Sleep restores it. With death the difference of potential vanishes. The brain cells have the most positive electricity, the liver cells the most negative. Emotions are stimuli releasing...
