affection with which the old time
political leaders inspired their follow

Physiology and Hygiene.
The health OF women students has
been a subject of recent investigation
by Mrs. Henry Sidgwick. Mrs. Sidg-
wick in her English statistics intro
duces an element not found hitherto
in similar inquiries by including for
comparison the health of one sister of
each student Chat one who was near
est to the student in age in the family
and over twenty-one, and who had
not been to college), SO that facts
have been recorded relating to two
sets of women of whom it may be said
roughly that they lived under the
same circumstances, except n set
had been to college and the other had
not. The statistics show that a decided
ly higher level of health is maintained
by the students than by their sisters;
for example, IS per cent. students as
compared with SO per cent. of their
sisters report themselves as enjoying
excellent or good health at the time
the reports were sent in.
1t is also shown that on an average
the present health of students is al
most the same as their health on en-
tering college-a period which would
in each case be determined largely by
the health being then at least up to.

health (of all students) would therefore
be specially high. These two periods
being on an average about seven years
apart, it would seem that any dele
