...average of their health is better, and it is therefore natural that their best men should be better than ours. But Mr. Blaikie's book is not intended as a manual for athletes only; far from it. It is addressed to the student, and to the idler as well, and, by following the practical advice which it gives, the former will be all the better fitted for study, and the latter will be spurred to some occupation. Not the least interesting are two chapters especially devoted to the question of physical education in women, - which is of more importance, perhaps...

Their cruise will be in such waters as do not interfere with the enjoyment of the labors of Cordon bleu...
SEVERAL of our professors have entertained parties of students during the past year, and we hope that they feel well enough satisfied with the experiment to make it a custom in future. The number of students who have been favored is comparatively small; but such social advantages would be valuable to all students, especially to those who do not have access to Cambridge society. Many Harvard men have no friends in the neighborhood of Boston, and are thus deprived of society at a time when it would be of the greatest benefit to them. There are many, also...
