...results of this year's physical examinations of first-year men, including Freshmen and unclassified students, show the intelligence of an enlightened group of parents on the subject of health, according to Dr. Roger 1. Lee '02, Professor of Hygiene, who has been in charge of the examinations. Figures compiled at his office show that very few Freshmen have neglected teeth; that 37.2 per cent. wear glasses; that very few have such gross, uncorrected defects of the eye that they need the immediate attention of the oculist; and that 43.6 per cent. have already had their tonsils removed. Only four...
...many ways our results can be interpreted as reflecting the sanitary intelligence of an enlightened group of parents. We find, for example, very few Freshmen who have neglected teeth.

Head too far forward. 2. Chest...

It is planned to demonstrate in lectures to the entire class the proper mechanical use of the body and feet, and it is also planned to give those in group D whose bodily mechanics is unsatisfactory, a certain amount of intensive instruction in small groups. It is confidently expected that with a simple explanation of bodily mechanics, and with the requirement of regular enjoyable physical exercise, many of these men will show definite improvement on re-examination...
...With the requirement of physical training for Freshmen, it has been possible this year to encourage in a very satisfactory way the particular form of exercise which each Freshman needed. There is, of course, a large group of Freshmen who need only regular exercise, but among the others one finds all sorts of needs, varying from careful supervision in organized sports to special exercises for the delicate or the physically handicapped. Every attempt has been made to combine the obvious need of the individual and his own inclinations. Mr. Geer and his associates have met their problem of physical training...
