...history of Arctic explorations there is nothing that is comparable to Nansen's contributions to science in his work. The expedetion was not a mere feat. In physical geography, in biology, in meteorology, the results obtained will mark a new departure in the various sciences concerned. The continuous observations made during three years on the meteorology of the Arctic regions, when combined with other observations, will be of the highest practical importance in dealing with the climatology of Europe. No less important will be the practical results in other directions. Many of Nansen's observations were taken in latitude...
...syllables ninety-nine fit the rhythm of the yell incomparably better than the syllables nineteen hundred; the second is that Seniors have been traditionally most in sympathy with Sophomores, Juniors with Freshmen; and the third is that the '99 Freshman crew by winning the class races performed the very feat for which '91 originated the yell in question. Are there any better reasons why 1900 should have...
Augustus Jesse Bowie performed the remarkable feat of obtaining a degree from each of the departments of mechanical and electrical engineering...
Again conceding the influence of the passion for gold, how could such immense masses have been accumulated when the simplest mechanical devices were unknow? How was such a feat physically possible...
...brilliant style. He first moved to a point on the west bank below the defences and captured New Madrid, the only considerable town. To pass the river and overpower the batteries which defended the one road to the island, he needed gun-boats and transports. By a wonderful feat of engineering, a canal, six miles long, but shallow, was cut across a submerged peninsular, from loop to loop of the river and the frail transports thus passed around the batteries. A gun-boat, the Carondelet, boldly ran the gauntlet of the fort at night, running so close under the banks...
