Our University is about to become the seat of a new course of instruction. The School for Physical Training, which, since 1881 under the care of Dr. Sargent, has been sending forth gymnastic instructors to the country, now announces a summer course of instruction at our college. What the conditions and objects of this course are will be seen on the first page. The advantages of such a course in the Hemenway Gymnasium will be greatly augmented by the use of the University Library and athletic accommodation. Under his own direction we may see Dr. Sargent's system of exercise and examination spread by the hands of competent and well educated physical trainers thoughout the whole country. This summer course affords a most thorough discipline and preparation for the peculiar work in which its members are to engage. An age of sane ideas about bodily exercise, outside sports and proper care for health seems at length dawning near. And we cannot repress a feeling of pride that at Harvard are found the seeds of this reform.
