When the Corporation announced that Yale's next President would be James Rowland Angell, Michigan '90, a large body of alumni, who felt that no one could cherish Good Old Yale but a Good Old Yaleman, were stricken with grief and shame. Few had the perspicacity to divine that now if ever was the time Yale needed the unemotional guidance of a man who, like a foreigner in the Orient, would not be judged too severely for short-cutting an unwieldy mass of custom and precedent. An Angell might march boldly in where an alumnus President would timidly...
...last week one St. Mark's boy, Frederick William Hubbell of the fourth generation of a wealthy Des Moines real estate and insurance family was dead of infantile paralysis. Seventeen other St. Mark's boys were known to be stricken, eight of them after they were removed from school. All are suspected of having taken an unseasonable swim, like paralyzed Franklin Roosevelt, in chilly water. Four of the seventeen showed some degree of paralysis.

Equally instructive last week was Dr. Lucien Daniel Clark's account of the "interesting experience" through which he had just passed. Dr. Clark, 70, a Cleveland surgeon, was stricken with apoplexy and paralysis year and a half...
Seven men suffer coronary thrombosis to one woman. Women are stricken later in life than men. A first attack kills them more often than it does men. But, if a woman survives such a heart attack, she may expect to live three years longer than a man similarly stricken and surviving. Dr. Willius finds it "difficult to understand the reasons for the great discrepancy in incidence of coronary thrombosis between the two sexes. After a critical analysis of the known factors, one is obliged to seek a possible explanation in the presumable superior biologic heritage of the female...
