...been customary to train athletes on lean beef and mutton, but he thought this a mistake, as tissue-making food should be used in combination with these, and the diet should be so changed as to meet the requirements of the organism of the person using it, for to establish one diet for all persons was ridiculous. Beef alone is not superior to meal, beans or other farmaceous food, and the size of the muscles of a man is not indicative of his strength. Farinanceous food tones a man down and will tend to give him more endurance...
Yale has permanently returned to the stroke and system I introduced there ten years ago. This year the boating authorities asked me to re-establish it and I have consented to do so. In point of fact, I already have the men in training. I labor under great disadvantage this year. In the first place, Harvard has already been availing herself of the English system, so that we find her today thoroughly familiar with it. They have already an excellent crew in training for this year's race. All of the men, with but one exception, were...

Taking all these points into consideration, an article in a late number of the Miscellany strikes us as being very important, shedding as it does, new light on a very old subject-the higher education of women. That there were objections...
...rooms is a good one. Unless the college carpenters desire to build small houses inside or use the space to store up a whole wood yard they cannot need all the room which the building affords. There must be at least room enough to enable the bicycle club to establish a headquarters in it, with opportunities for storage for their machines. The plan suggested by the writer of having an agency for the rent of bicycles would doubtless meet with approval by many who desire to ride occasionally, but who do not care to buy or have the trouble...
