...there is no doubt that most of the criticisms were absurd and severe, and probably did neither the writer nor the men of whose work it was written any good; but the ideas obtained from reading the work of others was of inestimable value. No matter how careful and thorough in his criticisms the instructor is, no matter how painstaking the student is, under the present system, he can but go on attempting to perfect himself in the peculiar style which chance or his early education may have led him to adopt. If he gets a chance to study other...
...study of medical science is human biology in its widest sense. New fields are constantly opening, as in bacteriology. Thorough scientific knowledge is demanded to-day. A preliminary academical training is very desirable. The two sayings of "Room on top," and "Go West" are of little value. There is room in the lower half of the profession.

The high price of seats ought not to deter men from purchasing, as by this means the high character of the audience is preserved. We wish the Athletic Association the highest success in the coming season's work. It is anticipated that one record at least...
...increase is shown, perhaps, in a more striking way by Parker, estimating the different amounts in cubic inches. The flow of blood through the lungs is much less rapid when one takes little or no exercise; and the carbonic acid will not be removed from the system in so thorough a manner. If a man then is obliged to lead a life which deprives him of the chance of getting a fair amount of physical exercise, he should, if he wishes to keep himself in health, reduce the amount of carbon which he has been in the habit of introducing...
