Dr. William li. P. Emerson '92 published last year from the press of D. Appleton & Company "The Diagnosis of Health." This book by the "consultant in nutrition and physical fitness in Dartmouth College" has been reviewed very extensively and favorably. A review in the Survey states that "The Diagnosis of Health" is directed more to parents, teachers, nurses, nutritionists, than to physicians, but many a family practitioner of medicine will rejoice in the tone of confidence, in the emphasis and courage of the attack against the sub-standard health he sees so commonly, and but rarely is called upon to correct. School principals and even college presidents may well judge their performance of a public trusteeship for youth by the tests of fitness, the evidence of a well proportioned regime here offered. The Diagnosis of Health may easily become as common a family possession for early youth and young maturity as Dr. Holt's classic has been for the rearing of babies. It is a timely book, convincing in its evidence and encouraging for the future."
