60 COLLEGE OF LITERATURE AND ARTS every year, in order that her physical condition may be known and suitable exercises and advice given. Systematic, class work is given in the use of dumb-bells, wands, bar-bells, foils, Indian clubs, and on all pieces of gymnastic apparatus. During the fall and spring terms, outdoor games and exercises receive considerable attention ; during the winter term, indoor games and athletic work are made interesting by public entertainments and contests. 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 vertebrae 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. A special gymnasium is fitted up for women. Every woman student not physically disqualified may take this work. If taken for credit, the conditions laid down under Physical Culture in the description of courses must be complied with. POLITICAL SCIENCE The courses in Political Science are planned with two purposes in view: (1) to give, in conjunction with the instruction in Economics and History, that information and training which are requisite to intelligent citizenship; and (2) to afford opportunities for advanced work to those who may desire more thorough preparation either for active political life,- or preliminary to the study of law. To meet these ends, the work is so arranged that the subject may be pursued continuously for three years. The elementary courses are given every year, while the advanced courses offered in alternate years are made to correlate in accordance with the general scheme. The topics for special investigation in the seminary course will be selected with a view to supplement the advanced work of the year. The courses, as a whole, are intended to cover the theory of the state, its organization, and practical operation. Attention is paid to the development of political ideas and to the growth of national institutions. The comparative method is followed, wherever practicable. Freedom of discussion is encouraged in the class room, and the student is stimulated to original investigation and to independent thinking.
