Physical Development at Harvard.

When the committee, appointed last year by the faculty, to consider the subject of college athletics, made its report, it was found that over two hundred of the men who had been examined by Dr. Sargent, had a physical development of over 675. That is higher than the best developed man in 1880, when the Hemenway gymnasium was opened. As this year is the tenth since the opening of the gymnasium, Dr. Sargent is preparing a list of all the men whose development is above 675, to show the work accomplished during the last decade. Already there are 225 men on the list, the highest average being between 1100 and 1200. In order to make this list as full as possible, Dr. Sargent wishes all men who can to offer themselves for examination before the first of May, after which time the records, will be worked up and the names and records will be published of all those who have a rank above 675. It is desirable for not only those men who have never been examined to present themselves, but for those who have had previous examinations, for the aim of this list is to show the athletic standing of the men at present, and by that the benefit which has been derived from the gymnasium during the last ten years. Those who wish to be examined can make appointments for that purpose at any time before May 1st, and it is hoped that by that time a full record will be obtained of the physical development of the men who have enjoyed the benefits of the gymnasium.
