THAT good health is the foundation rock of a successful career is readily admitted. Gladstone said, "All time and money spent in I raining the body will yield a larger interest than any other investment." The urgent need of special attention to physical fitness for life's work has been imposed by civilization in a twofold way(a) the decline in racial vigor which is due largely to city life and reduced outdoor muscular activity, and (b) the need for even greater physical tenacity, resisting power and endurance, arising from living upon higher tension and from the greater strain and the more crucial tests to which the successful man today is subjected. Education itself exhibits these conditions.
This Department endeavors to serve all of the students in conserving their health and in giving them better physical preparation for happy and efficient living. No effort is made to develop marvel-

ous performers, but to give the body that scientific, all-round training that will make it useful in life's every-day activities.
The promotion of health is the chief aim, but the work is also designed to correct deformities, lo develop greater strength and activity, better posture and easier carriage, as well as certain menial qualities. It also furnishes a complete change of atmosphere and attention from the usual classroom pursuits and. in this sense, is a recreation.
The work is practical rather than theoretical. Il consists of learning by doing. What is learned is thoroughly ingrained in the nervous system and cannot be forgotten. The results of this training are therefore completely cumulative and progressive.
While physical education is different in kind from other phases of education and is conducted separately, yet it is in a way accessory to all the other departments of the University in that it develops physical health and buoyancy, thus conducing to greater alertness, concentration and receptivity.
This Department deserves a large share of the credit for the unusually good health of'our students as a body, and for their noticeably rapid improvement in graceful, erect bearing, good carriage and in general deportment. The physique of the June Sophomore is more al tractive, useful and controllable than that of the awkward, ungainly September Freshman.
Physical education is strongly supported by the Faculty and the Board of Trustees, and this Depart men! is improving in efficiency from year to year.
