...John Jay Chapman says in his "Notes on Religion" that contemporary medicine is on the verge of seeing that health is relaxation and all danger whether to mind or body is due to nervous tension. The Advocate's leading editorial on "Advice to Freshmen" is in accordance with this theory in warning them not to plan their day with detailed modern efficiency. It is well written but it has its value only as a counsel of perfection for those who have a strong purpose which enables them to over-ride all such trivialities as planning and forethought.

...denunciations will soon appear in their annual abundance. The justification of this old custom is to be found in the fact that it is successful in calling forth words of execration and condemnation.
