...essential qualifications for a successful hammer thrower are height, weight and strength coupled with speed in throwing. The training in this event for the college man consists of many years of concentrated work. It is, however, quite possible to develop a thrower during his college career, to break Tootell's present record of 181 feet 6 1-2 inches. Tootell himself never had any scholastic experience but took up this event for the first time during his undergraduate days at college...
...asset for quick development is the practice with the 35 pound weight. As coach and trainer of Tootell, I discovered that he progressed rapidly with a lot of speedy work with this modified hammer and that this, combined with plenty of gymnasium exercise, kept him steadily increasing in weight and strength. Constant practice remedying defects and patience to conquer any such is bound to develop perfect coordination. I firmly believe there is more technique used in developing a man in controlling himself while turning three times in a restricted circle of seven feet in diameter than in any other event...
...academic rank should be admitted. It may be that this would be a satisfactory way of initiating this notable departure, but its wisdom appears to me to be at least doubtful. A college, after all, is not run only for the benefit of honor students. An educational institution must develop not only intellect but character. Those who can not, or do not choose to try for distinction also have their place, and among them are many of the best men in the university. To encourage segregation of the better students from these men would work injustice to both classes Distinction...
...Serious thought was given to asking the Y. M. C. A. to substitute for the Y. W. C. A. where the latter is not represented. The women, in 25 secret conferences, quashed the idea. "No man understands girls well enough to allow them to develop their own leadership. Men always do the planning and let the girls tag along."—Rhoda McCullough. But the Y. M. C. A. will be asked to cooperate with the Y. W. C. A. before entering new fields where the latter is not represented...
...small colleges at Harvard developed along such social lines, there would be no improvement over the present system. It is not likely, however, that they would so develop. Our undergraduate body, heterogeneous in comparison with most American colleges, is homogeneous in comparison with Oxford, which has students from every walk of life, every English-speaking country and state, every race, and every color. English youths, by the time they go to college, are heartily sick of public school conformity, and go in for rather extreme individualism: but over here, the desire to be "regular" outlasts school, and oven college...
