...Atlantic and in the Popular Science Monthly on the various aspects of economic study by this same writer, have done much to clear up a subject about which so little is known, except by those who have pursued it. The book is just what is needed, and we feel certain that it will be received with great favor by the students...
...lack of sympathy which the faculty has always shown for our athletics of all kinds, it would seem that they disregard or hold in light esteem the benefits derived from healthy exercise. A certain amount of recreation and relaxation of the mind is absolutely necessary to make a successful student.

Being comparatively young they have not till recently exerted a very decided influence on the world of science. Yet in the last twenty-five years wonderful strides have been made in certain branches of scientific research. For example, from 1830-60 not a single special investigation was made by a Russian university professor. From 1863-82 there were more than six hundred and fifty investigations described in scientific journals...
