The Health Education Department gives students oppor- tunity to train themselves so they might further the health of the community in which they teach. During the war years the physical education directors trained Navy men. With reconversion to peace time ac- tivities intercollegiate sports are being stressed as well as a physical education program in the training school. Working with the physical education directors is the resident nurse, Miss Beatrice Mettler. In addition to her duties as nurse Miss Mettler conducts classes in hygiene. 23
