...hemorrage of the brain artery is the most dangerous one possible, as blood flows to the brain from two directions. The lecturer gave a vivid exposition of these various arteries by painting them on the naked body of a young boy, who stood the ordeal well. The proper place for pressure to stop the flow of blood, are the neck, behind the collar-bone, the inner side of the upper arm, the part over the hip bone, and the inside of the thigh. Hot and cold applications are also...
...CRIMSON. - The ball of anti-shackism has been started and should be kept rolling till it comes down hard on the heads of the present lords of creation. Shack insolence is something apalling. If netting is not forthcoming, why not organize the present shacks into something of a cash-boy system in charge of the field man?

...first experience at Harvard under the present system, makes him feel as though, in some unaccountable way, he has grown fifteen or twenty years older during the few months elapsed since his high school commencement day. Under the despotic sway of the high school pedagogue he was a boy; he has suddenly become a man; distinguished professors defer to him, treat him almost as their equal, he finds that his education depends mainly on the soundness of his own judgment. Harvard theory assumes that a youth of eighteen or nineteen is not the thoughtless, irrational creature he is generally supposed...
