...system is washed out more completely and a large supply of fresh material is borne to all parts. While the exercise is within any reasonable bounds, the heart beats increase some twenty or thirty a minute over what they are when the person is at rest; in spite of this increase in number, the character of the beats is regular and even. When the labor is excessive the heart will become tired, the pulsations very rapid, but feeble, and unless exertion is brought to an end mischief will follow. Disease of the blood vessel is, however, of rare occurrence...
...curious that there should be practically nothing which should remind us of our school-life. Many of us probably have some unpleasant recollections of school. Who has not? But he must have been a curious boy indeed who did not manage to have a good time at school in spite of the teacher. It is true that fellows are not thrown so much together at a day school as they all are in Cambridge; but on the other hand they generally remain more than four years at school.

These resolutions will go before the faculty, and will serve to bring an evil to their notice, in a manner in which it has never before been presented, from the side of student conviction. The marking...
...spite of the CRIMSON'S statement in its last issue that "the track on Holmes is in good condition for running," it is not likely that very many men have since availed themselves of such an opportunity for good exercise. The statement when it appeared was one of pure mockery by reason of the storm which in a few hours had made a snow field out of a race course. If we had only labelled our item, "Weather Indications" the error would have been in no wise surprising, and would have foretold stormy weather quite as accurately as any prophesy...
