...entered at once upon the topic of Hygiene, and occupied an hour in an attractive and systematic exposition of the subject. The first thing that should be considered is the matter of ventilation, drainage, and position of our houses. Especially necessary is good drainage, as most cases of typhoid fever and diphtheria can be traced to defects in this. Bed-rooms and studies should be provided with open fire-places, as all other methods of heating are open to serious objection. Furnace heat raises the air far above a healthful temperature, besides robbing it of a large proportion...
...Minot urged the necessity of regular open-air exercise, and gave peculiar emphasis to this, especially as a preventive of consumption. Symptoms of coming disease are hard to interpret, general wasting being a sign of chronic affections; fever, severe chill or vomiting are the accompaniments of many of the more acute diseases.

The formation of such debating societies, which shall keep the students directly informed about the public business of the nation, is a very hopeful sign. The old societies used to discuss everything under the sun, except politics...
...with uniformly good stories, albeit rather gloomy at times. Now, in our humble opinion, translations like Mr. Santayana's "May Night," and Mr. Mitchell's "Little Dauphin," are worth twice to the college literary world what a namby pamby love story, or a wild medley of lunacy and brain fever would...
