...college green, and classmates pledged each other's health in generous tin dippers. Of late years. however, each class has provided a separate bowl of punch of its own in the rooms facing on the college yard, and the year of the class has been conspicuously placarded on the outer wall, in order that the graduates might know where their classmates rallied. These little gatherings have always been marked by a spirit of lively cordiality, which might be expected of college classmates coming together after years of separation to renew their friendships and recall the scenes and associations of their...
...pleasant to note how the more rational and intelligent portion of the outer world are disposed to deprecate any undue excess in the present reaction against the "epidemic" of athleticism in our American colleges. The absurd strictures of such men as Dr. Crosby seem to meet with little approval save from the so-called religious press.

If this simple expedient should be generally tried, and the floors carried to the outer walls, probably at least twenty-five per cent. of the losses now experienced would be done away with...
...Skin and its Functions - The Importance of the Bath," was the subject of Dr. Sargent's lecture yesterday. The lecturer first described in detail the different layers of the skin and the important work performed by each. The outer part of the skin exerts a protective force, doing the double duty, by its power as a non-conductor, of keeping out the cold and preserving the vital heat in the body. Below the protective layer comes the glandular or secretive tissue, under which lies the vascular, and farthest from the surface, the nervous fibre...
...will venture to assert that no one who had endured the rigors of minus zero degrees in e. g. Weld, would ever venture to raise such objections if steam were to be introduced into our buildings. On the question of the desirability of steam-heat for dwellings in the outer world, there is almost no doubt at all. Steam is fast coming to supercede all other methods of heating; and, if a practically scientific method of steam-heating were adopted for Harvard's dormitories, there need be no occurrence of the disagreeable symptoms of leakage and noise. Moreover, the pleasant...
