...accompanying diagram represents Dr. Sargent's anthropometric chart for the plotting of the physical development. "The parts at which the observations were made, are indicated by the list at the left side of the chart. The perpendicular lines divide into classes all of the measurements for each part that were surpassed or unsurpassed by given percentages of the persons examined, as shown by the figures at the top of the chart. The upper number at the top of the line shows the per cent, that at each part surpassed the class indicated by that line. The lower number shows...
...perpendicular line in the centre of the chart is the normal of typical line,-i. e., that was represented at each part by a larger per cent. of the persons examined than was any other part. The classes marked "minimum" and maximum were each represented at every part by about one twentieth of one per cent. of all the persons examined. It will be readily seen that the uses of the chart are numerous, showing the relation of the individual to the normal standard, the relation which every part of the individual bears to every other part, and suggesting many...
Applegate, '89, comes nearly up to the perpendicular on the first half of his stroke before he kicks his slide; finishes with a bad jerk; takes hold of the water with bent arms; and rows with a crooked back...
...which, where not worn off entirely, seem to be made up of a conglomeration of enormous roses and tree trunks. To look at this aged sofa, you would say that it could not possibly be comfortable to sit, to lie or to take any posture upon whatever. Its perpendicular back and straight arms certainly give it a most uninviting appearance. Perhaps this is the reason it has not been worn out entirely long ere this...
...chemical, pathological and other laboratories, rooms for the curator and some of the professors, the Warren Museum, and the dissecting room, or "dead-man's hall." Of the lecture rooms, two are of double height, and in them the seats for the students rise above the lecturer in almost perpendicular tiers. In one of them is the portrait of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, presented to the school by his friends, when he retired from the chair of anatomy a year ago. The laboratories are of little interest to the average man, but are the places where the students spend much...
