Mgr. The value of good healthy physical exercise has long been recognized by schools and colleges throughout the country as a necessary balance to the mental activities of the student in the all around development of the young men. Following the old Ro- man saying of: Mens sana in corpore sano. — A healthy mind in a healthy body — nearly every school of the country has some athletic policy so that the student may avail himself of the advantages for his physical betterment. With pride we can say that almost from the very beginnings of this institution it has also been represented by some form of sport or other. To-day it is represented by three major sports — baseball, basketball and tennis — with a possible fourth in the near future — football. In these three it has matched wits and ability ith teams and institutions of high standing. It has gained fame and reputation not only in its own city, but also in other districts. For this credit is due in no small measure to the Athletic Association. This body formulates the athletic policy of the institution and uses such measures as it deems expedient to create a healthy enthusiasm and interest among the Student Body. It sponsors and supports all of the various athletic activities of the school. It presents those players who the think have merited it, with the much striven-after college emblem. It also makes arrangements for the annual Athletic Banquet. Much credit, however, is due also to the faculty representative for his earnest efforts in making the athletics of our school a success. 178]
