第 71 頁 - ... the seeking of a college education on the part of women does not in itself necessarily entail a loss of health or serious impairment of the vital forces.
第 71 頁 - On the other hand, an almost identical improvement in health for a like number was reported, showing very plainly that we must look elsewhere for the causes of the greater part of this decline in health during college life. If we attempt to trace the cause we find that this deterioration is largely due, not to the requirements of college life particularly, but to predisposing causes natural to the graduates themselves, born in them, as it were, and for which college life or study should not be made...

That during college life the majority studied but moderately ; that 44 per cent did not worry over their studies or affairs ; that they were generally regular as regards hours for eating and sleeping,...
第 69 頁 - That the varying conditions of childhood, as shown in the comparison tables, have had no marked influence for good or evil upon the present health of graduates. That the present health of graduates seems to have been affected according as their parents have enjoyed either good or poor health, the figures showing 3 per cent increase in the health for those whose parents were both in poor health. That so far as inherited tendency to disease is concerned, a decline...

第 71 頁 - ... responsibilities or bear their proportionate share of the burdens of life. It is true that there has been, and it was to be expected that there would be, a certain deterioration in health on the part of some of the graduates. On the other hand, an almost identical improvement in health for a like number was reported, showing very plainly that we must look elsewhere for the causes of the greater part of this decline in health during college life.
