The following is a part of the official report of illness in the University during the year 1898-99. Compared with the previous year, there is a larger grand total, which is due to the increased miscellaneous diseases, especially during the months of December and January. There is, on the other hand, a decrease in two special directions, contagious diseases and injuries. The report say the latter is due undoubtedly to "more intelligent management of athletics." Sept.
