certainly advancing rapidly In all the sports

rowing is not a new exercise for girls, the

All the women colleges have crews. providing

Each one OF the three upper classes at
Wellesley has q crew. and the freshman class
OF 240 members has two rival crews with
prospect OF several scrub crews before float

to their health and efficiency In the Rymna-
stun exercises. Whether a girl intends to
row or not she is fret taught the Swedish
movements running. jun ping. balancing. and
vaulting. then the rowing machines are taken
up scientifically. each part OF the exercise
being practjsed separately. The fresh man
