...that it was propounded because it is physically unwise to remain in training throughout the year. I contend that this is not borne out by existing facts. I have talked with several medical men on the subject and their opinion is unanimous in declaring that there is no physiological reason why constant training should be injurious. The English athlete keeps in training throughout the year. True, he does not sit at a training table and gaze with ani mated longing at a cigarette.

The story would be improved by a little more reasonableness of action--not reason; far be that from Boola Ban! Even foolishness, however, has its foolish laws, and there is a kind of absurd orderliness in nonsense. In the story "Getting Agnes," by J. L. Warren '08, there is not enough drawing of character to make one willing to forgive the commonplaceness...
