...relation to future needs as well as to present appetite. Light conversation and gentle exercise promote digestion, but severe bodily or mental labor retards it. Avoid such labor just before and for at least an hour after a full meal. Eat slowly, masticate well." These and similar maxims are worth being learned by heart and many should profit by them...
...this useful accomplishment. The question has been discussed time and again here at Harvard. At regular intervals the college press presents its time-worn article upon the subject, each time without the least effect. In view of the repeated failures to bring about any results, it seems hardly worth while to refer to the subject again.

We trust that this defeat will lead the eleven on to even more faithful work, and the class to give them a still heartier support. It is well worth while to strain every nerve to beat Yale, for such a victory would be a great triumph, not only for the class but also for the college. But Yale will not be beaten by a fair eleven ; it will take the best that the class...
