Special emphasis is being laid now on accuracy and sureness rather than on speed or individual brilliancy. Yesterday the two offense lines were time and again sent down the ice with the puck to train them in the art of team-work around which the Winsor system of hockey play has been built. Since the resumption of practice this week the squad has improved considerably...
...teeth. Furthermore, only rarely did we find a Freshman who had sufficiently gross uncorrected defects of the eye so that he needed the immediate attention of the oculist. In 1914 we found that 41 per cent of the Freshmen wore glasses, either constantly, for distance, or for near work. This fall we found that 37.2 per cent of the Freshmen wore glasses. In other words, the enlightened part of the public who send their boys to Harvard College may be considered as appreciating fully the dangers of ocular defects and this appreciation has extended at least as far back...
...This year, we have again continued the rating of all of the Freshmen from a standpoint of bodily mechanics. This aspect of the work was inaugurated in 1916 by Dr. Lloyd T. Brown, and he has kindly continued supervision of it. The method of rating is as follows. The individual's feet are carefully examined and he is questioned as to possible previous trouble with his feet.

Head straight above chest, hips and feet. 2. Chest up and forward. 3. Abdomen in or flat. 4. Back usual curves not exaggerated. Group B; Fairly Good Mechanical...
...handicapped. Every attempt has been made to combine the obvious need of the individual and his own inclinations. Mr. Geer and his associates have met their problem of physical training very well and are succeeding in making physical training interesting as well as beneficial. The key-note of the work has been that what is good for the individual need not necessarily be distasteful...
