EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON- I should like to improve the opportunity afforded by Gen. Swift's lecture on the temperance question, to set forth the nature and objects of the Total Abstinence League. Two years ago this spring attention was especially drawn to the disgraceful drinking habits prevalent in the college, and several meetings were held with the object of forming a society for the purpose of checking this evil if possible. All shades of opinion were represented in the preliminary meetings, and very lively discussions took place as to the principles on which the society should be based. Those...
...Alatoona was Johnston's next stopping place. This also proved too strong for Sherman to attack and he marched away, suddenly reappearing in the rear of his adversary. In making this move the battle of New Hope Church was fought without results. Then comes days of fighting back and forth and of making breastworks.

Sherman, to encourage his troops, made an assault but could not take the main works. He had again to resort...

It certainly will require something more than such extreme assertions to convince the ordinary undergraduate that base-ball is "one of the worst of games," and we still...
...went on to describe the workings and various departments of the laboratory of the practical physiologist. The methods by which pain in their experiments was reduced to the minimum was set forth, also the gains made to medical science. Our knowledge of the circulation of the blood and many other of the foundation stones of medical learning are due to the practice of vivisection. It is humanitarian, for by the sacrifice of the lower animals almost without pain the greatest benefits for the human race are obtained...
...secret of success was entirely due to the concentration of the combined power of the men on each stroke, the men throughout the race rowing back and forth mechanically and deliberately as one body. There was no undue haste, as had been the case in previous races. The six men were as though molded into one, operating like the works of a well-regulated clock, in perfect unison and harmony. The result was a conservation of force, previously unknown in a boat. The test was a fair one in every respect. With a crew physically inferior to that...
