...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 other comparisons of interest. The metric system was adopted that the unit of measurement should...
...horizontal position. In this case the spine is comparatively straight, so that little difference is shown between the standing and horizontal length. The strength tests in this case, as in the others, approach near to the maximum class. Upon glancing over the chart as a whole, it will be seen that the normal position of this individual is in the 80 per cent. class. To bring the depth of chest up to this standard by natural processes, although impossible now, would have been a simple matter in early youth. With this exception, the individual just considered could so develop himself...

In the third set the games were four to one against Snow and Tailer. They then won five games straight, their play calling forth enthusiastic applause. Summary: D. K. Snow, '88, T. S. Tailer, '89, best Lee and Talant...
...Haven club grounds last week, was the most successful ever held. The courts were in splendid condition and with the exception of the first day the weather was all that could be desired. The playing of Sears and Shaw, especially in the doubles, was perhaps the best ever seen here in an inter-collegiate tournament. We wish to extend our congratulations both to these gentleman and to the University for the splendid showing that Harvard made in the tournament...
