At the end of the investigation the subject had gained 6.2 pounds in 

 weight and showed a corresponding slight increase in anthropometric 

 measurements. No change in his general physical condition could be 

 noted. He pas.sed his examinations creditably with a grade between 

 B and C. 



In this case there can belittle doubt that thesupph'of nutrients was 

 actually sufficient to meet the subject's demands, inasmuch as he gained 

 in weight and showed no sign of phj-sical deterioration. The ration 

 eaten b}^ Subject G, although very liberal in comparison with that of 

 the other men included in this investigation, should not be regarded 

 as excessively large, and the average student who boarded at Randall 

 Hall and was not forced to economize would probably spend fully 

 as much on his food and secure as much protein and energy as did 

 this subject.

Subject H was 27 3'ears old, 5 feet 10.5 inches in height, and weighed 

 128.3 pounds. For one of his height he was very slight, but examina- 

 tion showed that he was in fair physical condition and fairly well 

 nourished. 



He was a senior in the college and carried five courses, none of which 

 was commonly regarded as especially difficult. He slept about 8 hours 

 and devoted 7 to 8i hours daih' to his studies. For exercise he walked 

 or rode a bicj'cle 30 minutes to 1 hour per day for seven days during 

 period 1. In the winter period (period 2) he walked or exercised in 

 the gymnasium 1 hour daily for 10 daj's, and in period 3 he rode a 

 bicycle 30 minutes to 2 hours daily on 6 days. In addition to college 

 work he served as a waiter at Randall Hall for f to 1^ hours daily for 

 10 to 13 da^'s during each period. His time was quite full}' occupied, 

 but his ph3'sical work was not of a very arduous nature.
