...varsity had won their races. At the start, Harvard's stroke, Sam Drury Jr., strapping big son of the strapping big headmaster of St. Paul's School, got his beat up to 37, splashed out to a lead of three quarters of a length. Yale, pulling a shade slower, crept up. The shells were even at the half-mile mark. At the mile, Yale was a third of a length ahead. The crews settled down into the rhythm of the race with Yale, smoothly stroked by Johnny Jackson, clearing its puddles by six feet at 30 strokes...

Prime fact is that all are either harmful, worthless or both. Most are simply laxatives, for it is possible to reduce weight by hurrying food through the system before it can be properly digested. Some compounds contain thyroid extract which, by speeding metabolism, does reduce weight but with much possible harm...
...late, but sits in close-striving study over Kant's "Ethics," and for relaxation counts the number of students taking History 1 in the New Lecture Hall. In the evenings he watches the first of the terrific little moths fling themselves with pings of desperation against the tin shade of his study lamp. And in the mornings, supine upon his pallet of horrid languor, he gazes with admiration at the accurate spider stretching her slow web across a corner in anticipation of the few flies which wander solemnly through the unremembered rafters of Memorial Hall...
