fhc Aim of President Eliot and the
Harvard Faculty.
In his recent report before the board of
overseers at Harvard University President
Eliot carefully reviewed the history of the
regulation of athletic sports, especially
since the first committee of the same, ap-
pointed in 1882. He sa1d:
Long ago it appeared clear that the
highly competitive sports were assuming
an Importance in the public mind and de-
veloping evils, both physical and moral,
which made it impossible, in the judgment
of the government Of Harvard University,
to leave them to the, management of grad
yates only. From the beginning 1t has
been the object of The faculty and of the
athletic committee not Tor cripple or abolish
competitive sports, but do have them con-
Quoted with moderation and honesty and
a generous temper. ola
The sports which, have intercollegiate
interest affect stronelydthe physical well
fare, the manners and tshe morals of the
students who take part in them or who as
pire to take part in ffie1n. They tend nat
urally to exceSSeS, which are grave evils
from every point of viewb In the judgment
OF all the authorities Of Harvard Universe
ty, corporation overSeerS and faculties,
they require at all American universities
and colleges stea6y' and watckful control,
such as the Harvarddcommittee on the reg
ulation OF athletic speEts has exercised
since 1882. ,J-.

DR.. Edson's Discovery.

DR.. Cyrus Edison of New York. in an arti-

Medical Record, announces to the medical
profession his discovery of method of dis
injecting the blood by the Injection of a solu-
ton Of carbolc acid and thus making the
blood itself disinfecting agent as it courses
through the body. In the study of disin-
fectants DR.. Edison learned that carbolic
acid is at all times to be found in the blood
and that nature herself increases the
amount in disease over one thousand times
He reasoned, therefore, that carbolic acid
Is natures remedy, but he was confronted
with the fact that the injection of any
known solution of oarbolic acid generally
produced an abscess. The problem was to
find the form in which the acid could be
injected without producing this effect. This
he announces that he has accomplished
The solution is a colorless liquid, smelling
of carbolic acid. and it is injected under the
skin. According to the results reported by
DR.. Edison so far the solution Is credited
with the cure of about 40 per cent of cases
of consumption.
