*Ellingwood Scholarship.-This Scholarship was subscribed in March 1827, by members of the church and society under the pastoral care of the Rev. John W. Ellingwood of Bath, Maine, and was named by them in honor of their respected minister. The subscription exceeded the sum of one thousand dollars, and was made payable in five years. That the benefit of the foundation might be realized immediately, the subscribers generously engaged to pay the interest on their subscriptions, or on so much of them as might remain due until the whole sum should be paid. Of course the amount of interest paid by the subscribers, from year to year, must be less and less;-the balance of the income being derived from the capital already paid and invested. From not making this explanation, but publishing the receipts just as they have been received, it might seem as if the real income of the Scholarship was growing less-and the scholarship itself of doubtful existence.-Whereas it has been in full operation from the first and is among the safest and best foundations which the Society holds. This explanation is made in justice to the benevolent donors-and because it will apply to several other valuable scholarships. A large part of the Ellingwood Scholarship has already been received.

UNION OF STUDY WITH USEFUL LABOUR. | which is here contemplated;—to fur

[blocks in formation]

popu

It is presumed that no apology will be required for inviting public attention to a subject, which, though less frequently made the theme of lar discourse than many other subjects, is deeply connected with the interests of learning and religion;-I refer to the union of a system of thorough exercise with study, through the whole course of academic and professional education.

If there are any, however, who expect to be entertained with new and striking theories, or elaborate disquisitions or elegant descriptions, I must forewarn them that they will be disappointed. The subject is a plain one, and addresses itself chiefly to the common sense of men. The object of the present address will be lost, if sober and intelligent minds are not furnished with those reasonings and facts which will enable them to judge of the practicability and necessity of connecting useful labour with study, as an exercise, in literary and sacred Seminaries.

My method will be to make some general remarks concerning the mode of exercise best adapted to the object

ments which have been made at a nish some account of recent experinumber of institutions in our country; and to urge the importance of speedy efforts to carry the plan into execution, in our Seminaries and Schools of learning.

I. In regard to the mode of exercise, our opinions must be regulated, partly, by the leading object for which all exercise should be taken, and, partly, by the circumstances in which students are placed.

Were I skilled in the science of Anatomy, or acquainted with the Medical art, I could doubtless give a physiological view of the subject which would satisfy every one, that the necessity for exercise, of some kind, is a fundamental law of our nature. The human frame, as well as the mind for whose accommodation it is fitted up, is made for action; and the health of the one can no more be maintained without it, than the health of the other.

Physicians, we all know, ascribe great influence to exercise, as well in sustaining the system generally, as in the production and prevention of disease. I may be excused, if in proof of this remark I quote not only their authority, but their language.

"A due proportion of exercise, we find to be necessary to the perfect action of every function both of body and mind; by its excess they are ex

hausted, and fall into premature decay; while by the want of it, their vigour is impaired, the body becomes incapable of maintaining itself in health, and the mind partakes of the langour and inactivity of the body. Although each extreme may be, perhaps, equally injurious, yet the greater number of diseases that fall under our inspection, originate from this latter cause; and its first effects are generally manifested upon the functions that are subservient to the nutritive system. By this means the body loses its proper supply of matter, and both its physical constitution, and its vital powers, are immediately affected. The secretions of all kinds become deficient in quantity, and changed in their quality; the circulation proceeds with a languid current; and consequently both the muscles and the nerves are deprived of their due proportion of arterial blood to support the contractibility of the former, and sensibility of the latter."* These remarks, while they apply generally to all men, are specially true of the young. Not only is more exercise needed during this period of life, than in any other, but nature, as if to intimate this necessity, has given to the young an instinctive desire for action, far beyond what is felt in more advanced years. Such being the fundamental principles of the animal economy, as determined by the Creator, it is plain that health and vigour can no more be maintained without exercise, than life without food. A man might as well think of changing his natural element, and of living under water, as of violating with impunity this established law of his nature. Whatever then may be the mode of exercise adopted, it should be such as fully to answer the physiological

ends for which it is needed.

But it must be exercise adapted to the peculiar circumstances in which men may be placed. Habit is a second nature; and not unfrequently en*New Edinburgh Encyclopedia. Art. Medicine. See also the medical opinions communicated, in this number, for the Quarterly Reg. and Jour.

forces its laws with as controlling an influence as nature herself. The habits of students differ widely from those of men engaged in active pursuits: of course, it may be necessary to observe a corresponding difference in settling the mode of exercise best adapted to studious and sedentary men.

The following, it is believed, are the most important points to be kept in view, in establishing a system of exercise, which shall be adapted to the condition and wants of young men in a course of education.

1. The exercise should be such as to produce thorough muscular action of the chest, and limbs; and to promote gentle perspiration.t

2. It should be taken either in the open air, or in a place which admits of its free circulation. An impure, an overheated, or a confined atmosphere may prevent, or destroy, nearly all the good effects of exercise, and may become the occasion of positive injury.

3. It should be systematic. A less amount of time devoted regularly to this purpose will be of more service than a much longer period, employed at uncertain, and distant intervals. Nature never stops in her work. He who would effectually cooperate with her, must be steady and uniform in his plans and efforts. Ordinarily, it is supposed better, that exercise should be taken a short period before meals,

The following sentences are from the second No. of the Journal of Health, published at Philadelphia. is necessary that motion be communicated to every part susceptible of it; that the breast be dilated beyond the usual bounds of rest; that all the muscles

"To render exercise appropriate, during health, it

attain the utmost degree of their extension and con

traction; that strength, of course, be exerted, and enjoy all its developements. The effects of such exercise, when not carried to the extent of producing undue fatigue, are to promote the circulation of the fluids throughout the body, to render the digestion of

food more easy and perfect; to ensure the nutrition

of every part of the system, and to enable perspiration and the other excretions to take place with regularity."

We take this opportunity of expressing our high

satisfaction with the plan of this new periodical, and

our earnest wish that it may obtain a wide circulation. It denounces empiricism; and communicates the most valuable medical knowledge, in popular language. The work is conducted by an association of regular Physicians in Philadelphia, and is issued once in two weeks-in numbers of 16 pages, at $1,25 in advance per annum. Ed's.
