...information about the different courses. Take, for example, the following from the Elective Pamphlet:* "NATURAL HISTORY 4. Geology. Three times a week. Professor SHALER.

The most useful apparatus is the sectional weights, near which a set of directions for use has been posted. By means of these, every muscle above the waist can be brought to a good development. The best time for exercising for men in general is in the afternoon, and this is generally acknowledged by the fact that two hundred and fifty men have been counted who were exercising...
