DR.. William Gilbert Anderson O
self past sixty, but by carefully
adopting his own advice and using
selected forms of exercise for the
adult he more nearly resembles a
man of forty. He was born in 1860
in St. Joseph, Mich; his father was
pastor of a Congregational Church
there and a chaplain In the civil
war.
DR.. Anderson was prepared for
college at the Roxbury Latin School,
Boston, and took his degree in arts
at the University of Wisconsin in
1882 and in 1884 followed with an
NJ. D. degree from Adelbert College.
For seven years he had charge of
the gymnasium of the Adelphf
Academy, Brooklyn, and he took
charge of the Department of Physl-
cal Education and the new gym at
Yale in 1899.
While directing the gymnasium
DR.. Anderson entered Yale as
sophomore: he was then IS years
old; six years later he won his B. A.,
and one year afterward his NJ. A.
Six years later he earned degree
as NJ. S. from the Yale Scientific
School, all this while carrying on
his work in the gym of Yale and
that of the Normal School. When
5y years old he entered Harvard and
in year had won the Doctorate in
Public Health, this being the sew
enth degree of its kind given by
Harvard and the first by Yale. At
this age he climbed both Popocate-
peH and Ixti in Mexico, thus dem
onstrating what middle aged man
can do who has coupled with care
full living, reasonable forms of
neuro-muscular exercise.

For some years / have been trying to
find an answer to this question, and while
not able to furnish satisfactory explana-
ton believe can throw little light on
the subject.
There has been much written lately on
the bodily uplift of the fftyyear-old
youngster which In itself is suggestive of
the demand for something tangible or
effective. something that will enable this
half century runner to continue
Years ago I heard Westerner speak of
raising more corn to feed more hogs to
buy more land" and SO it seems to-day
that our successful business man wants to
travel around In a similar circle, for he
whips the body hard to do greater business
to swell his bank account, and with excep-
tions the family comes trotting along af.
terward and his own physical machinery
begins to show signs of giving out. When
this stage Is reached what does this
man do?
He may consult a doctor, who, after
devoting time to the examination, recon-
mends change of diet (never is this
factor omitted), orders change in the
daily routine, then finally he passes over
the subject Of exercise by referring the
patient to some physical culture expert.
In the large cities there are number of
competent leaders in the science Of body
rebuilding, but too often the ailing one is
attracted by the Aladdinlike promises Of
the expert who will cure him while he
waits; he will give him wonderful muscles;
he will bring him back the alertness of
younger days; he will renew his youth,
and all this by mail or by actual personal
contact.
