Dr. Sargent yesterday began his course of lectures at the gymnasium with "Physical Examinations." He insisted on the necessity of physical training, and then explained in detail his system of physical examinations and measurements, by which he was able to prescribe special exercises for each individual, which would strengthen a man's physique in those points in which he was weak. Different persons needed different treatment, and in our gymnasium are machines of all kinds (principally of the doctor's invention) which are adapted for every physical detail.

This lecture was principally introductory, and will be followed in the succeeding lectures by special advice and directions.
