    Freshman Physical Measure.
m ents.
The recent physical examinations
of the Freshmen class furnish some
interesting figures. The second ex
amination was made six months
after the first, and the measurements
show gains in nearly every case.
Some of the most interesting
figures are shown below. The
figures given are the averages for
the whole class.
Gain in height
Gain in weight
Gain in chest (girth) .81 inches
Gain in chest (breadth) .10 inches
Gain in chest (depth) .21 inches
Gain in right arm (contracted) . .35 inches
Gain in right arm (extended) ... .27 inches
Gain in right forearm .14 inches
Gain in hips
Gain in right thigh
Gain in lung capacity
The greatest individual gain in
height was in the case of one dimin
utive Freshman who gained two
inches. The greatest individual
gain in lung capacity was 30 cubic
inches ; in weight, 26 pounds.
The results speak well for the
efforts of "Pop" Golden and his
able assistant, J. C. Jeffrey. The
class was held only twice each week
during the winter months, and it is
believed that with more time for the
work, much • better results could
have been obtained.
