Undoubtedly, incalculably strong tendencies to health or disease are inherited by all of us; but, on the other hand, every one has within his reach the power to better his form and development.

But the fact probably is, that considerations of justice have probably never been thought of by the authorities. The reasons which induce the College to offer good rooms to sub-Freshmen are of course perfectly evident; the extortionate prices which...
