...recent lecture on "What shall we eat to get strong?" he said in the course of his remarks : It has been customary to train athletes on lean beef and mutton, but he thought this a mistake, as tissue-making food should be used in combination with these, and the diet should be so changed as to meet the requirements of the organism of the person using it, for to establish one diet for all persons was ridiculous. Beef alone is not superior to meal, beans or other farmaceous food, and the size of the muscles...
...university. Its claims for a better support by the public in the matter of endowments are referred to. The dining association may now be considered one of the established institutions of the university. The report states it is of great importance in several ways; first, by providing a substantial diet at a low price for students who wish to live inexpensively; secondly, by keeping down the price of board at other places in Cambridge; thirdly, by facilitating the formation of new acquaintances; and fourthly, by exerting a strong influence through its democratic constitution, against all provincialism...
Prof. Maassen, of the Vienna University, who was hissed by the students last spring for his anti-German speech in the Diet, met with the same fate today in the splendid building on the Ringstrasse, which the University has just taken possession of.

If the students grow fat it will be assumed that their diet is too rich, and if they grow thin it will be regarded as evidence that they are not sufficiently fed. Whether the real end in view is to ascertain upon how little food a student can thrive, and to confine him to precisely that quantity, is not known, but there is certainly room for suspecting that this is Dr. Hamlin's design...
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...
