NEW YORK.-In his annual re
port to the trustees of Columbia

Butler discusses the institutions
policy with regard to faculty re
tirements. He said:
lowing to a larger measure

exercise, to participation in
sport and to wiser and better
ordered habits of living, men in
active life are retaining their
mental and physical health and
vigOr for a number of years
longer than their fathers and
grandfatherS were likely to do.
For this reason among others
compulsory retirement at any
age is Objectionable, since the
wit of man cannot find it pos
sibIe to devise q rule on this
subject that will be adapted
to every possible case arising I'M
der it.
The plan of retirement at
Columbia University is the
sound one. Any officer of in
StructiOn has the privilege Of
retiring on his own motion at
the age of IS or thereafter, and
the trustees likewise have the
option of retiring him at their
instance when and after that
age has been reached. Retire
ment under these provisions Of
the university statutes is, there
fore, wholly optional either
with the individual or with the
trustees themselves"

AND OF hygeE9. the neatn magazine
Among the most valuable remedies used in medi-
cine today is the simple sugar known as glucose. AS
more and more studies have been made Of the
chemistry Of the human body, this agent has come
into wider and wider use.
Its chief value lies in the fact that 1t is absorbed
rapidly and requires no special digestion. going at
once into the body tissues. Furthermore. 1t Is used
up in the tissues and places no special strain on the
organs OF e~xcretion.
There are several ways In which glucose is put in
to the body at times when needed. First, It may be
taken by mouth. Because some persons are unable
to stand the sweetness Of plain glucose. 1t has been
recommended that it be given in the form Of iced
lemonade. About q half PIT OF the glucose Ia add
ed to a quart OF iced lemonade.
In other cases the glucose is injected in a weak
solution under the skin in those parts Of the body
where the skin In loose. This is. Of course. more
painful than taking glucose by mouth and there is
sometimes danger of damage TO the tissues, but there
are cases in which persons are 80 sick that they
simply are unable to take any food by mouth.
The third method demands a certain amount OF
technical skill. II consists OF the injection OF the
glucose solution directly into the vein. Large amounts
OF the solution may be injected very slowly. and
when given In this manner the glucose Is rapidly
utilized by the body.
There Is also the possibility OF injecting this solu-
ton into the lower end Of the intestinal tract, but
doctors still disagree as TO value Of this method.
To some persons glucose is irritating Certainly
the absorption is slow and there seems to be some
doubt az TO whether enough OF 1t is absorbed prompt
~ to have the desired effects.
There are many types OF disease noT IN which
glucose Is used. These include cases OF weakness,
cases in which the pancreas gland sends too much
insulin into the body, cases OF failure Of the heart
tissue. and all sorts Of instances in which ordinary
feeding Is difficult or impossible.
IN certain instances, when surgery Is to be done
on a patient. glucose is given in advance OF the oper-
alton 50 that the patient will be prepared for the
wear and tear on the tissues that follow the oper-
alive procedure.
This is particularly the case when surgery Is going
10 be done on stomach or ~intestines.
Glucose also is used especially in cases when there
is surgery to be done on gallblsdder or liver. In such
cases the usual functions OF the liver in storing sugar
and in giving It out 10 the tissues as needed may be
disturbed.
