A spacious Gymnasium for young women has been fitted up in the library wing, and instruction in calisthenics is given to two or more classes daily. Lectures on health, and its conditions, and on other important topics, will be delivered to these 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 the health of others under their charge. The materials for the calisthenic uniform must be made up under the direction of the Instructor in this department. The Trustees desire that all female students shall participate in these exercises unless excused for good cause.
