great number of students now taking
physical training has compelled Pro-
fessor Babcock to divide them up in
sections. and even then they are
crowded Much of the professors time
thus used might be much more profit
ably occupied in other directions. DR.
Kingsbury. in his trip east, became
more and more convinced of the utility
and absolute necessity of a gymnasium,
and has recommended a good gymna-
SUM to the regents as one of the ne
cessities of the college.

for books have been filled out. amount
ing in all to 500 or $780, Nearly half
of these will go TO the training school,
