The Physical Training Conference of last evening seems to have had at least one practical result in the resolution passed asking the Faculty to appoint a committee to investigate the plans proposed. The opinion expressed by the speakers at the meeting was unanimous, that whatever plan is ultimately adopted at Harvard not only is the general principle of physical training as closely connected with mental efficiency, an enlightened one, but also that those who succeed in increasing the general health of their bodies as well as that of their minds, should receive credit for it.

Thus a committee appointed by the Faculty will be able to feel that not only is the general plan of adopting a course of physical training here, one which is approved by those who have considered the question carefully, but also that a course counting toward a degree would meet with favor. Further, Mr. Hemenway's liberal offer in guarantee of the expense that would be incurred in adding physical training to the University curriculum, greatly simplifies the matter, and will certainly help to hasten a decision.
