Came the clarion call OF war. FRO
fessors. Senators and draft boards
awoke with a start to find a big per-
.antaEe OF American young men who
were either too broad across the mar
rows and too weak in the heart from
intensive athletics. or utterly pinched
aad str.nry everywhere from no
training at all.
"A-ha," cried the American Ath-
teti, Research Society. what did we
tell you, NOW viii YOU give IN
peace time what you so sp'endldIy
plan for war time-hygiene and
thorough setting up?"
A resolution vas drawn and intro |
duced by Dr. Thomas \. storey
Physical Director Of the College OF
IN. CITY Of New York. az recent
meeting OF the society. This being
the season Of good resolutions and
new leaves, It looks as though whole
sale athletics would soon be dealt In
rather than the exclusive type OF
nhvsical training which hires ten
thousand dollar coach for few fell
lows who don't specially need setting
up and leaves the chaps with no
checkbooks and no chests to become
"studes." It's the old story OF them
as has, gets"

College makes a perfect pattern for
other colleges and high schools the

"But we do turn out" ne asserts, "a
balanced boy. We are the only COL
lege in the city that has compulsory
hygiene. We have normally about
1000 students in our day classes and
something over 1000 more who come
for night classes and extension work.
Every one Of these boys gets two solid
years Of physical training.'
