...shall I be brought into closer sympathy with these men?' It is absurd to talk of irreligion and atheism here; for a university is the thermometer of the community from which the students are recruited. There are many electiues here, but life is not one of them; we must live. Therefore let us live that largest life possible, the life of a true, christian gentleman. We are the leaders of the American community; we must be it when we go forth from here. For this we must have life, and let us get it here at its fountain...
...varsity live a very regular life. They rise at seven o'clock and breakfast at half past. I may say here that training at Harvard, as far as food and drink are concerned, is not at all the same as it was some years ago.

The 'varsity and part of the freshman crew occupy the house together, while the rest of the '89 men live in a little cottage directly across the the way. As you enter the house, across the little sheltered piazza, you come first into the parlor, or rather lounging room, where the men spend...
...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 lecturer closed with short directions to those who are in any way exposed to the disease, pulmonary consumption. His directions here were simply to live in obedience to the laws of hygiene, being much in the open air and not subjecting the system to protracted exertion...
