...admonitions against sleeping with one's windows shut, and his recommendations of bean soup as a nourishing food are of the past. Instead, the new student hears of the case of the undergraduate who made the startling discovery that he studied better when he exercised; of the cut-loose prep school boy who turned playboy when he found freedom as a Freshman, and of his fate at mid-years, and that of the four hundred others "in this very room that will never graduate from Harvard...
