EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
264 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS exercises receive considerable attention. Lectures and talks on hygiene, physical training, etc., are given during the winter. 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 seven hours of credit. 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.
