In those days "scarcely a sound but flutes was heard. From these the gentle murmurings or liquid trills rose from every side of the quadrangle the moment the bell at twelve rang the close of the morning study hours."

...heat-stroke should be taken to a cold place, clothes loosened or taken off, and water thrown over him, or ice-bags used. Sometimes there is exhaustive sun-stroke when the body is cold and the pulse slow; in such cases, stimulants should be given. In giving liquid to an unconscious patient, turn the head to one side, put in the liquid on that side and then throw the head backward and the liquid will pass down involuntarily and without the patient's choking...
