...also impossible to collect statistics showing of what diseases college men die, but it is probable that there is no disease in anyway peculiar to them. One fifth of the community die of contagious diseases, but from these college men suffer very little. From small pox no intelligent community need suffer. A vaccination in early life, however, does not retain its virtue always, and if there are men in college who have not been vaccinated since thirteen or four-teen they had better be so now.

Intercollegiate athletics are a good thing, but must be regarded as a means to an end. There is a great need of reform in training.

It seem unnatural the preacher said, that men should need to be exhorted to gratitude to God. Yet many devotedly pious people, while they feel the duty of gratitude, are certainly not spontaneously grateful. This is largely due to a wrong method of looking at puzzling questions of belief. Dr. Andrews then considered some of these questions, and showed that...
