The object of the course is to make the student acquainted with the most important educational theories and their place in history, and to introduce him to the study of the science and art of teaching. The principal educational classics are considered, and such practical work is done by reports and discussions as the time permits. PHYSICAL TRAINING MR. DODGE Exceptionally fine opportunities for physical training are afforded to all students by the Robert F. Ballantine Gymnasium, Neilson Field and the Boathouse, which are elsewhere described. At the beginning of his freshman year each student is given a physical examination, conducted upon the plan. now in use at the leading colleges, and a complete record is made of his physical condition. This examination is. repeated from time to time and thus affords valuable information concerning the growth and development of the individual. At the time of the examination an anthropometric chart is drawn, showing the relation of the individual to the normal standard in size, strength and symmetry. From the information thus obtained cards are made out specifying the exercises most suitable for each case. For the classical section of the Sophomore and Freshman Classes attendance at gymnastic exercise is required for four half-hour periods weekly throughout the year. For these classes a graded course has been arranged. To the Freshmen are taught free exercises, exercises with Indian clubs, exercises upon the so-called "heavy" apparatus, and track and field athletics. The Sophomores use dumb-bells, wands and the heavy apparatus, and also receive instruction in athletics. With all other students gymnasium attendance is optional. Classes are formed to suit the general convenience, and a progressive course of instruction is followed. During the winter term a class is formed from the two higher classes, for instruction in fencing with foils and singlesticks. Swimming is regularly taught during the spring term. Students are required, before enrollment by the manager of an athletic team or organization, or before entering their names for match contests, to secure from the Instructor in Physical Training a certificate, good for the current college year, stating that the candidate is physically fit for such contests. |
