Of course they might leave off exercising sooner, but the crews have to be there at certain times and stay till their work is finished...

Now let us take the smaller number, and let us suppose that, on the average, they are half through their college course. The amount the deceased would have paid in term bills is forever lost to the College, - a trifle (excluding interest) of $12,000. To this must...
