...with sound and practical notes, based on the best recent German editions. The notes are in the main to be translated from the German but will contain numerous additions, substitutions and omissions by the American editors always indicated in the printing. The books are to be printed after the plan of the well-known Weidmaun editions with notes on the same page as the text...
...cannot too highly praise the plan recently adopted at Yale, the particulars of which we learn from a Western exchange. "Dress suits," it says, "will be discontinued by the ushers at the Yale junior examinations."

Men should be warned against the use of drugs to cure sleeplessness. The sleep thereby induced is not a genuine sleep. After any violent or unusual exercise a warm bath is to be highly recommended before retiring. The practice of bathing the feet alone is a doubtful one, however. It is, in general, best not to be dependent upon any artificial condition to secure sleep. One should aim for a complete...
