tie cannot be transmitted to the hu-
man species.
The widest speculation is current as
to the exact nature Of the new discov-
cry. 1t is the prevailing belief that
the successful experiments in curing
tuberculosis in cattle which have been
made by Professor Won Behring and
his assistants have been the precursors
of the cure he believes he has discov-
cred for human beings afflicted with
the same disorder. He has convinced
himself that Koch's theory that the
diseases are not identical in man and
in animals is worthless, and it is but
a step to the conclusion that the same
curative treatment will be eficacious
in both.
At Marburg, where the professor
has devoted himself assiduously to the
prosecution Of his researches, he has a
farm Of 400 acres and not less than
400 COWS and several hundred horses
and other animals under constant OBJ
servation. The Emperor of Germany
has taken the most intense interest in
the work and has contributed greatly
to the study in more ways than one.
One of the most important features
connected with the new discovery is
that it promises not only a cure, but
immunity for those who use it. This
would seem to indicate that Won Beh-
ring has found something which will
of foot q I1lood
such material changes that the bacilli
Of tuberculosis cannot live in it. That
would seem to imply that some newly
discovered feature Of the bacillus was
the basis Of the find. The scientist
however, has declared that his cure is
neither a serum nor vaccine. The
next meeting Of the tuberculosis con-
gress will be held at Washington in
1903. Long before that time the mys-
terry surrounding the discovery will be
dissolved.
Professor Won Behring's announce
ment of cure for tuberculosis by
medication Is revolutionary. It is cas-
lily the most sensational and important
claim that has been made by any repu-
table member Of the profession for
many years. 1t Is almost as radical in
its pretensions as were those Of
Brown-Sequard concerning his famous
elixir. If it proves to be all that is
claimed for it, it will mean the extinc-
ton of an evil which has been respon-
sible for one-seyenth Of all the deaths
which have occurred since the begin
ming of the Christian era.

mission to some heather land and the
ultimate evangelization of the world.
They communicated their plan to
such of their fellow students as they
believed would sympathize with them
and organized the Society of Brethren,
a secret society, which had for its OBJ
iect the establishment Of foreign mis-
sions.
The result Of the prayer meeting
was the organization in Bradford,
Mass. in 1910, of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions. From this start grew the great
society Of the American Board, which
has distributed millions Of dollars.
Since the first meeting Of five persons
it's corporate and honorary members
have increased to over 10000.
Years after the students had formed
their great scheme of evangelization
the spot where they held the prayer
meeting was marked by a cedar stake
This led to the purchase Of Mission
Park by the alumni Of Williams Col
lege and in 1867 to the erection and

1t is usually a waste Of time to an
tagontze a popular fad and 1t is con-
sequently not worth while to make an
onslaught upon college football. That
sport if it deserves the designation,
may be unnecessarily brutal, but peo-
pie are in love with it. This is shown
by the increasing crowds that attend
the games. The American populace,
like the Roman populace, has fancy
for an admixture Of blood with its
athletic entertainments. Not only the
football field but the pugilistic arena
shows the extent Of this prediiectiOn
SO nothing is likely to be accomplished
by criticising college football upon the
score Of it's brutality. Something may
be said, however, in favor Of modify
ing it's scope so as to bring it into the
same class as other college sports-in
other words, to make It an incident of
collegiate life instead of one of the
principal factors. This is the view Of
the matter which is taken by many col
lege heads and notably by President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler Of the Univers
ity of California. The idea is that
football must not be permitted to over
shadow Or even to interfere with the
serious work of academic life. It must
be relegated to the category Of ordl-
nary athletics instead Of being made
the chief business Of the students who
participate in it. It is true, as Pres
ident Wheeler declares, that the game
in its proper form and in its proper
relations Is too good to be abandoned
altogether The thing to do is to change
its nature, to eliminate highly special
lied training and costly equipment
in short, to make it clear that the
young men who participate in the
game are students first and football
players incidentally, instead Of foot
ball experts primarily and students If
there happens. to be time for study.
This is certainly a reform which is
practicable even though the elimina-
ton of brutality may be regarded as
impracticable. President Wheeler
calls attention to another Objectionable
feature Of football but it is one which
is common to many other forms of ath
letics. He complains that the sport is
confined to a small number Of players,
while the great part Of the student
body Is relegated to the bleachers or
behind the fence. This is true, but
it is also true of college boating and
of college baseball. In the very ma
ture of things these and similar sports
can not be participated in by the en-
tire body Of students. In this respect
football is no worse than its athletic
contemporaries. The Indictment
against football, In short, is-aside
from it's brutality-that it usurps
dominant position in college life, where
as it is or it ought to be mere ath-
letic incident. This can readily be cor
rected if the college authorities make
up their minds to do it. College foot
ball may be mended, but it can not be
ended. It has acquired too high a
popularity for that.
