Lectures on health, and its conditions, and on other important topics, will be delivered to those classes at suitable intervals, and great pains will be taken to secure, to the utmost possible extent, physical vigor, robust health, and a graceful carriage, and to prepare young women to take enlightened care of their own health and of the health of others under their charge. Students are requested to come provided with a Gymnastic Suit. The texture of this should be woolen, but other material may be used if lined with flannel. To secure the required freedom of motion, a loosely fitting waist is recommended. The seam on the shoulder should be short, and the belt should measure three or four inches more than the body, to allow the free use and expansion of the respiratory organs. The skirt should reach within nine or ten inches of the floor, and measure three and one-half or four yards around the bottom. Dark solid colors which permit the use of bright trimmings are usually adopted. The preferred uniform is a dark steel gray flannel, or ladies' cloth, trimmed with narrow scarlet braid.
