Very Different Is 1t With
Youth Who Knows Paris

1t Is a distinction to have studied in

rancor against everything American.

In Almost Every Case Students
Are Normal Young Men

II was pointed out recently by a
well known writer that the silent
stragglers of the city. written of with
such pathos and humor by O. Henry,
are now the Latin Americans.
These young fellows are in almost
every case normal young men. far
above the average in intelligence. well
bred they make excellent companions
and usually are. when they have ac-
quired the language. excellent takers
and raconteurs. They have been ac-
customed to a we'll established social
routine. to meeting young women of
their own age. II is in the latter re-
gard that they feel the callousness OF
North America most. 1t is this that
sends them back to their own hearths
with erroneous Impressions of the
United States. The American girls they
can meet In New York without a regu-
lar entree are of poor caliber. They are
met on the streets and IT, dance ilaiis
and usually. II may be guessed, they
are not desirable acquaintances.
have often heard expressions detri-
mental to American womanhood from
the lips OF these youths. opinions ut
tered without malice, which simply
had their roots in ignorance. in lack Of
acquaintance with the better class of
American women.
Any movement to better. the condi-
tions OF the Latin American student
in this country would TO my mind be
the best possible investment In the
interests OF a more cordial. better type
of Pan Auncricanism that this country
could make. For. let II be pondered
over and remembered, that the young
men who study in American institu-
tions are the future rulers OF Latin
America. Every young man OF ambi-
lion In those countries completes his
education abroad. and whereas the ar
lists and professional men go to Eu-
rope. 1t is the economists. the busi-
ness men and the engineers who come
to the United States--in short. this
country Is the training school for the
men who will WELD power In the years

IN College Days the s
Youth Builds His Physique

How vital this subject is and how
important the comparison can be un-s
derstood from consideration OF Nthe
fact that 1t is in college days and
in that period OF his life that the
young man must build the physique
that is TO stand the wear and tear OF
modern civilization. After being
thrown into the hurly burly of max
ing a living. few. indeed. are the men
who can do more IN preserve what
they have acquired in depth of chest
and stamina, and many are they who
deteriorate and IL they add anything
add fat and pitching forward of
the shoulders and projecting OF the
abdomen. So we know that ii is to the
physique of the youth AT 90 that We
must look in guaging what we shall
have when he is As and when his brain
powers are acquiring their height, and
from that time he will be drawing
upon the physical reserves acquired
earlier.

Department of Health Is
Recent Thing at Yale

Although Yale has only recently
established a department of university
health, under DR.. Greenway, il has
three years, consistently and well, and
in June of 1920 the Yale Corporation
adopted the recommendation of a spe-
cial subcommittee that the department
of health be expanded sufficiently to
render the following services for un-
dergraduates:
1. To examine each undergraduate
student IL. the university annually and
TO make as many subsequent medical
examinations as in the opinion of the
director of the department. may be
Necessary:
,. To treat all ambulatory cases and
to render first aid in accidents and
emergencies:
3. To supervise compulsory physical
training. which the committee believes
to be desirable and for which suit
able aca lemic credit may be given;
4. To begin development of special
services. including dental prophylaxis.
At the same time the corporation
voted that an additional charge be
made 10 each undergraduate Of $40 a
year for medical services and that this
go as a special item on the tuition
bills.

all students. and special examinations

Yale Show Great Increase

The records show the number oi

1907, 1877: 1908, 239; 1909. PSI. 1910,

335; 1913, 55s; 1919. 533: 1920. r579.
Other sidelights bearing upon the
situation are these. In 1897, for in
sSance, there was a total OF 662 de-
grees bestowed at the Yale commence
ment: 269 were bachelor of arts. which
shows that the college was carrying
through" in not very dissimilar man
ner than at present. Prof. Murray was
at that time giving a course in mill
tary science, and there was an optional
course in military drill. Two years
later. however. in 1899, is reported the
withdrawal of the Capt. Murray lee
lures, as well as the abandonment Of
the optional course in military drill.
The presidents report at that time
also urged very strongly the consider
alton of a University Hall to take the
place of the old dining hall. This old
dining hall was a makeover of the or
iginal gymnasium building. And cer-
tainly the president was justified in
his requests. At that time $4,000 was

Improvement Found in Quality,
Not Quantity, Says DR.. Anderson

lJT ANDERSON says.
''As TO whether the present man will
be more capable than his father is a
question we can not answer but
surely the opportunities for betterment
are greater and more numerous, but
at the same time possibly the living
conditions make an environment that
was not then known. OF course drink
ing is less now. There is practically
no physical change that can be noted
by mensuration, but if there are i'm
provements they. must be found in
quality not quantity.
Certainly the modern Yale man does
not give promise of greater efficiency
than the men / came in contact with
in 1886 and from 1926.
The personal history of the men was
not so precisely taken then as now.
Under DR.. Greenway there has been
marked progress in these respects"
DIR. Greenway states that there was
no careful physical examination of
students previous to the year 1867,
when the department of health first
came into existence. Physical mem
surations made at the gymnasium in
