Lee '02, professor of hygiene, in an article in the Alumni Bulletin affirms that the athletic heart is normal and that the usual claim that the athlete's heart is enlarged because of his activities is wrong. He draws his conclusions from examinations made upon more than 2,000 students, including the members of the University crew.

However, it can be emphatically stated that the athletic heart when subjected to the careful investigation of instruments of precision is usually shown to be a normal heart. A good proportion of the oarsmen examined had been told previously for one reason or another that they were suffering from athletic hearts; yet our investigation failed to confirm the presence of any abnormality that was not entirely consistent with a normal heart...
...demanded an ever-increasing teaching force. The latter has jumped since 1905 from 279 to 326.

Now if the rate of stroke is, say 34 strokes to the minute, it means that the oarsman is breathing twice as fast as the naturally would. Increase the rate of stroke and the strain on the heart...
