...various members as they have preferences, are assigned to the great political parties; and represent certain sections, sitting for this or that constituency, and are supposed to keep themselves well up on the special interests of whatever part of the country they represent. The composition of the parliament is intended to be relatively in accord with the national parliament, with such proportion of conservative liberal and radical representation as to fairly reproduce the actual existing parties...
...tutors for the students. They need not even live in the university town, but may spend their stipends where they like, and in many cases may retain the fellowships for an indefinite period.

It is certain that scarcely and gymnasium has been newly fitted up, or any plan of physical culture adopted at any neighboring college, but that it has seemed necessary beforehand to inspect the building and methods of Harvard's Gymnasium, or to secure the advice or active cooperation of its well known director. The latest instance of this fact is Cornell, whose trustees are considering the question of making a thorough course of gymnastic instruction...
