...that the strongest men come from the country is an erroneous one, as, although certain bones and muscles of those accustomed to manual labor are larger and stronger, yet the development of the heart and lungs does not correspond, and therefore the excess of energy in one direction is offset by the loss in another. Neither do the best physiques come from the city, but, in general, from the large towns, where the advantages of pure air, out-door freedom and the absence of severe manual labor are combined.

It is believed by the best informed persons that the insurance - $70,000, and $50,000 additional, besides $15,000 for the philosophical collection, will place the college on as good footing as before the fire. To offset the adverse criticism for small insurance, the friends of the college say that it has not been the policy of educational institutions, as a class, to place insurance upon their buildings.
