...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...
...print today an account of the work which the various crews have been doing since they began work on the river and a criticism of the individual members.

As the new platform and repairs at the boat-house will soon be completed, the opportunities for watching the men on the river will them be much better than at present, and large numbers ought to go down to the river every afternoon. The University crew certainly gives promise of great hopes of success when they come to be matched...

Meanwhile, if some recognized authority, like the National Rifle Association, or the Forest and Stream, or Spirit of the Times, would lend its assistance to help on the project, we think that the sport might be put on a firmer...
...hard to explain. The lecturer asked his hearers to assume that man is descended from the lower animals in his body, and in some at least of his mental faculties. He then traced the gradations of altruistic qualities (those which are not based on personal profit) through the various phases of animal life. In the lowest life no evidence is apparent that the creature realizes the existence of anything outside itself. In higher forms we discern the germ of the nervous system, and later, a keen appreciation of the outer world. But no trace is visible of sympathy, ("the going...
