at 3 o'clock p m the first of the series of lec tures on hygiene by doctor william l estes surgeon in chief of the saint luke's hos pital was given in packer hall to the freshman class on friday morning doctor estes opened his discus sion with a brief outline of the en tire human system by grouping the various organisms under their respective heads he showed the functions of each and explained how each one although apparent ly a distinct and separate function ary was directly effected by the actions of any of the others this relation which exists between the organs is established and maintain ed by that most peculiarly intricate system known as the nervous sys tem all parts of the body are connected by fine threads or nerves in some places these threads are almost microscopic in size while in other portions of the body by grouping themselves together are as thick as a lead pencil a good example of this may be had in the spinal column here the nerves unite to go to the brain this whole network which covers the body together with the brain as the nerve centre constitutes the most important system of all great care must be taken of this system for if once damaged the whole body is damaged likewise the healthy balance of the whole system can be easily lost by some improper treatment to the body intemperance in a man's habits for a very short time may cause a damage or weakening of the sys tem that will take a long time to restore the value of consistent and thoughtful exercise can hardly be over-emphasized this applies es pecially to college men exercise is necessary as the proper stimulus for the organs of the body the great danger here lies in excess care must be taken not to overdo or exceed one's ability for to strain some part may weaken the whole system the injuries caused by the use of tobacco and intoxicants was clearly shown by illustrations which made a more forceful argument than mere words o rchestra dances i mans arc under consideration
