...much to be regretted that such wide prominence has been given to an occurrence which is significant only as marking the feeling everywhere against the old conservative system of governing a college. Far more harm than good results from this injurious spreading of college disturbances by newspapers who seek only to be sensational. The college world is particularly its own, and this needless prying into it by outsiders is only to be condemned.

Exercise tends to circulate the blood rapidly and bring it to the surface; a warm bath simply causes such a state of things to continue. A cold bath immediately after exercise is very injurious. If a man were strong and vigorous it might not do him any harm, but for most men it is almost an attempt at suicide, as it drives the blood back upon the heart and lungs...
