22O UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS by public entertainments. Lectures and talks on hygiene, physical training, etc., are given during the winter term. Special attention is given to the correction of those inequalities of hips, shoulders, and vertebras which prevent the harmonious development of the body. Each student comes under the personal observation of the director and is given exercises to meet her special needs. Every woman student not physically disqualified may take this work. If taken for credit, the conditions laid down under Physical Training in the description of courses must be complied with. The women's gymnasium occupies very attractive quarters in Natural History Hall, and is well equipped. The pastime grounds near by, in use through the year, when the weather permits, have a sixteen-lap running track, eight tennis courts, two basket ball fields, and space for hurdling, handball, and other suitable amusements. The gymnasium is open for exercise, at certain hours, under suitable restrictions, to those who are not enrolled in classes.
