March 2 and 3, necessary measures for treatment were taken, directed toward improvement of the disturbed functions of breathing and circulation of the blood . . .

From the moment they reached his side, the doctors knew that his plight was critical. They needed no delicate instruments to note that his breathing was highly irregular, with long pauses between rapid spells. His pulse rate shot up to 120, and this too was irregular.

Harvard men lead notoriously irregular lives, and it is not for the Dean's Office to work them into a pattern by which at a given hour all will troop off together to the Blockhouse or Lamont. Harvard men play hockey at 7:30 in the morning and squash at 10 at night. They study until 3 in the morning and they sleep until...
