...subject, said Dr. Walcott, is so large that many deficiencies in treatment are inevitable. In the first place, how can we tell what the health of a given body of men may be? Only, strangely enough, by the death rate.

And yet our correspondent is wrong in stating that the dual league is purely a Harvard scheme. The CRIMSON has had occasion to consult some prominent Yale men upon the subject, and while they have indeed spoken guardedly, they have yet assured us that the sentiment of Yale was in favor of the scheme. The exceptional good fellowship displayed at the Spring field game also, may justly be regarded as an index of Yale's sentiment; and more than all perhaps...
