...institutions of the Old World. As he says in the preface to the book, the essays were not written to be read in Germany, and should not be compared with the essays of a similar character which Professor Munsterberg has written for German readers. All through the book the author's point of view is fearlessly critical, but always marked by a spirit of fairness and common sense...
...James Russell Lowell: A Biography," by Horace E. Scudder, is the latest and most complete of the biographies of Mr. Lowell. It is written with a just appreciation of his life from the various points of view of author, editor, professor and diplomatic ambassador.

Dr. Darling's article, though written from a medical man's point of view, is not too technical to be clear. The author advocates the plan of having medical advisers supervise the training of athletes--supplementing, though not supplanting, the work of the professional trainer. It sometimes happens that men go into university athletics which require more strength than they have, and the over-exertion and strain produces permanent physical injury. Dr. Darling believes...
