...alternatives for carrying out this reading must be taken by a candidate in such courses. Either he must buy or borrow for himself all these books, or he must make use of the library.

There are those who insist that Dr. Hamlin really cares nothing about investigating the effect of diet upon his pupils, but that his object in setting up a collegiate weighing-machine is to substitute weighing for the old-fashioned methods of examination. The weighing-machine will afford, in some respects, a fair test of the progress which the students have made in the higher studies-such as base ball and rowing-and Dr. Hamlin may intend to assign collegiate honors to the students who succeed in training themselves down to the best possible weight. There is a good deal that...
