ASHMORE, Physical Director Two years of Physical Culture are required of all men in the Academy as one of the requirements for graduation. College men are required to take the work in the freshman and sophomore years. The men are divided into classes with regard to their ability. The number in each class is restricted in order to give each man as much personal attention as is possible. This plan makes more classes, but enables the director to suggest the particular exer- cises best suited to the individual as a corrective agency for de- fects, such as round shoulders, curvatures, undeveloped parts, etc. The Cass as a whole is given dumb-bell and Indian-club drills, marching, calisthenics, individual and combination tumb- ling, apparatus work, pyramid building and indoor games. The fundamental object of the work is to develop strong healthy men. More stress is laid upon strengthening the vital organs than on developing exterior muscle for show. If we would develop our bodies so as to possess health, strength and agility, we must use a system of exercises that produces these results: namely, a course of light and heavy work arranged ac- cording to our temperament and physical needs. By teaching the student how, when and the amount to exer- cise early in his college course, it is hoped h° will use the know- ledge to keep himself fit physically for his college work, even after he has completed the actual requirement of two years ' work and will continue to use the gymnasium through, his junior and senior years. A diversified plan of exercise such as outlined here should lead each man to choose some one thing suited to his taste and needs, and the department would be pleased to see each student make some form of exercise his hobby, to be taken with him along with his sheep skin. It well needs be a hobby. else it will be neglected when business matters press. The Physical Department has some distinctive features found in no other department of the university in that its courses are all required courses and are sure to do the student some good with or without his consent. Final demonstrations are used rather than final examinations. The Powers that be. — Faculty. 20
