...water bath should be taken at least once a week. The student should always have at least eight hours sleep, and if any is lost, Dr. Wilder says it should be made up "no matter what other things have to give place." The student he says "should aim to spend the whole forenoon in study. Recreation should be taken in the afternoon if possible and the evenings until ten o'clock may be given to study." The following remarks are especially worth noting : "If the student cannot get along without working directly after dinner and later than...
...animals in motion, when compared with the cuts taken by Mr. Muybridge served to show the erroneous impressions held by even the most observing of the ancient and in fact modern artists. It is the intention of Mr. Muybridge to accept the offer of the University of Pennsylvania to spend the summer in making investigations and so far perfecting his system of photography as to be able to show even the action of the muscles, thereby rendering the invention of more practical utility for the purposes of artists and sculptors. The Zoopraxiscohe is a machine invented by Mr. Muybridge...

Let every member of the freshman class present himself to Dr. Sargent for examination...
There is one other point in which the catalogue seems to us deficient,- in not printing the examination papers; at least the final papers of the various election courses ought to be given. As it now is, one is often forced to spend 25 or 50 cents for one single paper, which one may only wish to use once or twice. Including these papers in the catalogue, would make it all the more valuable and interesting, besides making it more clearly an exponent and index to the work and aims of the University...
