...examined least who, through eligibility for a crew or a team, take advantage of the opportunity. If physical examination were made compulsory for the whole Freshman class it would enable the Physical Director to pick out all the men who are undeveloped and to advise them to take a certain form of exercise, while men in good physical condition could know at the very beginning of their course for what form of exercise they were best fitted...

The article is interesting inasmuch as the suggested remedy reveals the fact that there are some who believe that Harvard may be greatly benefited by a modification of her system upon lines resembling in a certain degree the preceptorial system at Princeton.
