PHYSICAL TRAINING 263 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 must take the prescribed work and may elect enough to make two credits. 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. ANTHROPOMETRY Considerable time and attention is given to this work. Careful anthropometrical examinations are made as to the particular needs of the students, and on the basis of the information thus gained suitable exercises are prescribed; various strength tests and measurements are taken; the heart, lungs, and eyes are examined, and special attention is given to those who do not reach the normal in strength or in bodily development.
