- 5232 Athletic Policy Men ofNorthwestern, make the most of your splen- did gymnasium. In a short time, you will leave these quiet halls of learning to take your place in the busy world. Once in the strenuous rush of business or professional life, you will have no time to build up physical vigorg on the contrary you will be forced to draw upon what you have stored up during these years. The world is filled with the wrecks of men who lack physical force to carry out their ideas, dead sticks on the tree of life.', You will get no further than they unless you are virile and energetic. In the new gymnasium, we have a building that college stu- dents everywhere would tumble over each other to use. Use it-run, jump, box, wrestle, or swimg do something or other. If you are not rugged enough to play football, try-baseball, basketball, track or tennis. If you cannot play on the Varsity, try for the W class teams, if you cannot make these, take the gym- nasium classes or the individual exercises, developing strength, courage and self-confidence. When you go out to make your place in the world, you will need these things much more than you need them here. If not developed here, the chances are they never will be, and always and forever you will be shoved aside by those who have these qualities. The world de- mands strong men these daysg weaklings go to the wall. Get the joy of livingv that comes with perfect physical conditiong which makes even such a simple thing as a deep breath a pleasurable sensationg which makes a man stretch his muscles in the morning with pure delight in their vigor. Become strong by exercising your muscles in the gymnasiurng resolute and aggressive by pitting your strength, skill and courage against your fellows in college sport. Let us have a robust college atmosphere towards which every man feels it up to him to contributeg more men willing to take hard knocks on the fieldg fewer who are content to sit inglorious on the sidelines. Then will the Purple be feared and respected in all branches of athleticsg then will Northwestern hold a larger place among the Universities of this great West and Northwestern men become a greater force in shaping its destiny C.
