...Never in the history of Harvard was so much stress put upon the knowledge acquired from books as at present.

Further, it may be true that these congenital defectives are doomed because their mothers suffered emotional or physical stress during the antenatal period.

Nor do athletics necessarily cause enlargement of the heart. European studies show that oarsmen, skiers and cyclists are the only athletes with hearts affected by their exertions. Overeating and obesity...
