PHYSICAL CULTURE
has received more attention at the Univer-
sitv of Virginia this session. both by the
students and faculty, than IN any former
year. This department has been under the
personal supervision of Mr. Ellery G.
Huntington, 4. b., who Is a very compe-
tent Instructor. The subject Of athletics
has been under the general control of a
committee of the faculty and under the
special direction Of the Students Athletic
Association. which appoints boards of di-
rectOrs FIR football, baseball, ten
his. track athletics, rowing. etc. A
runnIug-track, baseball and foot
hall field, and numerous tcunis-cOurts
have been laid ont during the session The
aim In this department has been not 10 de-
Ncl0p athletes. but sound men not TO en-
courage professionalism in athletic sports,
but 10 develop healthy men both in mind
and body. The number of students who
have taken part in athletic sports has been
large. and the results are encouraging.
The football and baseball teams this Sos
SION have been very strong. aud have play
ci some interesting match galnss, paticu-
lulv the baseball team. which won eleven
out of tho twelve games PLAYED, and was
ono Of the best cluDs organized IN the
college for number If wears. Baseball
hiss been entirely self-sustaluing thl' year,
and has brought mo- expense upon the IS
ISOLATION. Tennis has become very popu-
lar, aud there are q number ot good play
crs I'm college. The regular fcld-day sports
were quite success thi, session. and the
college record was broken 10 several IN
stances. Ina none of the sports has more
interest been taken than in that of rOwlne.
BoATINo.
The Biyos Boat Club, which has been
practically abandoned ard only existed in

,uthused into its managers and members
this session. The club expects TO send q
we.l-drillcd and trained crew u Richmond

ueut alumnus az the University, and has

u1 crew in the races of the State re-
catta. For the session of 1SS9-g0

mills ON the Idyauua. and pleasure. prac-
tlce-. and race-boats viii be provided. The
adyisabil'ty Of constructing an artificial
course one and three quarter miles long at
She University has been discussed. Such

held during the week Of the Omver-
-ity finals. and much larger crowds
would attend them The Bives Club Will
trd,ayor next year 20 enter the Passaic re-
catta. of Newark. \. j., and tho Peoples
