...Minot in his lecture last night, entered at once upon the topic of Hygiene, and occupied an hour in an attractive and systematic exposition of the subject. The first thing that should be considered is the matter of ventilation, drainage, and position of our houses. Especially necessary is good drainage, as most cases of typhoid fever and diphtheria can be traced to defects in this. Bed-rooms and studies should be provided with open fire-places, as all other methods of heating are open to serious objection. Furnace heat raises the air far above a healthful temperature, besides robbing...
...four crews should not go out every afternoon at a certain hour. Last year the president of the boat club went out every day with a scratch crew, and the result of his labors has been made apparent in the closeness of the contest last Friday.

Is this the practice that will enable Harvard to play a game of base-ball that shall be worthy the name...
...from its supply of blood. In the latter, the cause of unconsciousness is concussion or vibration of the brain. It is a mistake to elevate the head or pour liquid down the throat in faintness; the middle of the body, on the contrary, should be elevated. The main thing to do in cases of stunning is to keep the patient at rest, and aid the breathing. Here also, no fluid should be given; especially are ammonia and alcoholic stimulants dangerous. The application of external warmth is excellent. Sprains and bruises are smaller injuries. A part that is sprained should...
