...charms than any classical name could give it. Entering Appian Way from Brattle street we cannot overlook the fine building on the left, which speaks so well for the success and prosperity of the now famous Harvard Annex. The building is a regular old "stager" in its way, a frame structure, nearer the shape of a cube than of anything else, painted a dirty yellow with white trimmings, and generally beautiful, one of the remnants of past ages (appropriate, some have called it), like so many other of the old standard houses that one finds in Cambridge. However imposing such...
...system of indicators was only in vogue here. Such a system is in use at Yale and in many city business blocks and is of great service as a labor and time saving arrangement. If the college would only supply the basis for such an indicator, a properly numbered frame for each entry, they would last for a long time. The indicator could be in charge of the janitor, who would at the beginning of each year collect the cards of the men in each entry of the building in his charge and place them in their proper positions...
...unknown. Emmanuel College, Cambridge, gave him his two degrees and as his rank of pensioner gave him position, he must have been worth considerable property. He and his wife Anne became members of the church in Charlestown in 1638 and he was a member of a council held to frame some laws for the legislature. The site of his home is still known in Charlestown, although the building itself was destroyed in the firing of Charlestown during the battle of Bunker Hill. He was about thirty years of age when he died, and he left property in England. The date...
...making long trips into the woods, to places where one is obliged to carry his own boat, the canvass canoe will be found to best answer the purpose, as it is ragged on a wooden frame which folds up into a small compass. They are usually square at the ends and are consequently slow sailors. Moreover, there is one serious objection to them, as the writer has learned from real experience, and it is this-a canvass canoe which weighs when new only twenty pounds will, after a month's knocking about, be found to greatly increase in weight. This...
Long continued mental labor, especially where the feelings are enlisted, makes fearful drafts upon the bodily frame. With sound, sturdy, bodily health, one can not only labor mentally more hours in the twenty four, but can, while working, throw into his task a greater amount of intellectual force. The mind gathers impulse and force from the body whenever the latter is in high health and vigor. When the body is feeble and sickly, the mind is either checked and hampered in its impulses, or, attempting to ride them boldly forward, breaks down altogether. The habit of being beforehand with whatever...
