The measurements of each student are compiled into a resulting "total strength," which in the case of the man showing the best development among the students of 1880, was indicated by 675.2. This man was F. D. Jordan. The average total strength of the ten best men in that year was 665.2. In 1881, C. H. W. Foster, the highest on the list...
