...system. Foods are divided into the nitrogenous or gluten-bearing class, such as meats, and the non-nitrogenous such as fats, starch, sugar, etc. A brain worker requires more fats, and a muscle worker more nitrogenous foods. Over brain exercise sometimes produces insensibility to hunger, and students, after light suppers and long night study, find themselves unable to sleep, although not conscious of lack of food. A light lunch is often a cure for this condition, and is to be advised after prolonged mental effort. The average man requires the food elements in about the proportion of 4 oz. nitrogenous...
...each class will go into a different kind of training. Yesterday the heavy-weight men, such as candidates for throwing the hammer, putting the shot, tug of-war, etc., were represented only by Gibson, '88, who for this time exercised in the class of runners, jumpers, and the light-weight generally.

Although an optimist might quarrel with many of the conclusions drawn as representing Kayyam in too dark a light, the conclusions are by no means fanciful, and are upon their face the result of deep study and clear ideas. It is a question, however, whether the Tent-maker of Naishapur can be so systematically interpreted throughout. Is it true that a thread of despair runs through the mystic lines of Omar and darkens all their thought? One long magazine article has been...
