The natural sciences were also subjects of study. The princes of Pergamon adorned their capital in a sumptuous manner. This was especially the case with Eumenes whose reign ended in 157 B. C. The principal sculptural works date from his time. Pergamon continued to be the principal city of Asia Minor during the period of the Roman Empire...
...then took the case of insanity as showing the connection between soul and body. Insanity is said to be "the soul made irrational, but," said he, "I doubt if it can be shown that the soul is ever irrational. The soul acts within from outside reports." The soul may be separated from the body as in the case of clairvoyants, and it may see independently of the eyes, but any real separation cannot be proved.

All of these charges have been answered time and again, and repetition is unnecessary. On the other side of the case the great fact that has been proved is that athletics have taken the place of other interests and practices which had nothing whatever to recommend them. It is admitted that colleges which devote the most attention to athletics are the most free from hazing, rushing, and other customs which were universal...
