/. Physiological freedom. The edu-
Gated man OF the twentieth century
Is not anaemic. languishinS In a wash
ed-out, wan vitality. He Is n better
animal at graduation than at inatricu-
lation. HIS physical culture has cor
rccted the defects of development mt made
weakness strong. deepened tho red OF
the blood accumulated a surplus OF
nervous energy, and sends him out Of
college with health and v!gor which
are the token OF the law OF liberty

largest affirmation OF self. II Is the
higher self which denies the lower.
Against the usurping self the real self
