...weight from the nineteenth to the twenty-third year is only eight pounds. The average weight of a boy at nineteen is 139.4 pounds or 1.7 pounds more than the average of the Yale Class of 1910 on entering college. However, at the end of Senior year we note an increase of 14.6 pounds or 6.6 pounds more than the average boy of the same age according to the Donaldson table, an increase which must be considered large in view of a previous statement that the growth power during this period is exceedingly small. For an explanation of this difference...

In the world today, a man's achievement depends upon his power in swaying the minds of men, and this power is impossible without understanding and sympathy...
...bring about a union of any sort. Harvard and Technology have overcome these natural sentiments and, without common authority, have joined in a plan which will carry influence all over the country. Institutions of such prestige cannot but set an example which will be followed. It is interesting to note in this connection that a similar co-operation has been contemplated by the scientific schools of London and will probably soon go into effect...
