...Steinach's operation, no new material is transplanted. He discovered that if the reproductive function of the gonads is stopped by removing part of their duct (called the "vas deferens"), or even by tying it off, the reproductive cells atrophy and the interstitial cells multiply and occupy the space, greatly increasing the flow of the hormones. The effect is to turn the gonad into an exclusively ductless gland. The same general results are produced as in the case of transplantation. Steinach himself makes no extravagant claims. He calls the effect " arrest within modest limits of the process of senility...

It seems to us that these papers in the order given come nearest to being well-balanced news sheets, giving due space not only to athletics but to religious, political, social, and educational questions of the day, with good discussions and editorials. They are for the most part aware of modern life, and are better balanced in their outlook on it. Football is a fine thing, no one regrets it, until...
Next there is a group of papers which devote some space to what we call these larger interests, but the articles are accounts rather than thoughtful opinions. Life in these colleges seems to be contentedly intra-mural, with a superficial reporting of what goes on outside.

But they do wake up sometimes, and each time with increasing vigor and justness...
