...Union might serve in a smaller, but just as honorable, way to keep alive the memory of the Harvard men who fought in Cuba. Why this suggestion, coming as it did from Major Higginson, has never been developed, we do not understand, or at least have never heard explained. It may be that the first few years of its existence the Union had little time for anything but experiments in the midst of which Major Higginson's suggestion was forgotten.

...pretender, "diabolically insincere".

I contend that this is not borne out by existing facts. I have talked with several medical men on the subject and their opinion is unanimous in declaring that there is no physiological...
