President Porter has requested the seniors to avoid the corner seats in his recitation room, the paradise of the would-be sleepers. A student who presumedly had been working hard the night before, was rudely aroused from his nap a few days ago by rolling off of one of the benches during the President's lecture...
...theme is a well worn, and well hacked one. We now need no argument for it. All are agreed on the first point, at least-that drunkenness is an evil, and an evil that all should seek to avoid.

As certain parts of the body are chilled, the circulation of the blood becomes irregular, and the heart is liable to ge affected. The captains, however, can avoid this danger by compelling their men to wear more clothing, especially around the neck, arms and legs. 2d. Instead of an increase in breathing power, the lungs are apt to be temporarily, if not permanently injured. Running, compels not only faster, but also deeper breathing; the inhaled air finds...
