...students who are selected to take part in college athletics are men of fine physique, who, in order to keep themselves in excellent condition, do not need the amount of training which they get. Time is often of great importance to them; but their physical powers are in demand, and this double draft upon their energies sometimes costs them their degrees. Men have been induced to enter the professional schools after graduation, that they might help retain the championship for certain sports. The evil of such a course is two-fold. It tends to raise the standard of the sport...

This addition to the regular curriculum, not being brain work, would...
...been a favorite and the number of men present have always expressed much interest in the lectures. This is an important subject for men to be informed upon, and one too often neglected by hard working students. To know how we are made and what we should do to keep ourselves in good health should be the object of everyone. It is for this purpose that these lectures were given and they were made voluntary so that every man could have this chance if they desired. It is to be hoped that this course will not be omitted this year...
