 All men students, natives of America, are, unless ex- 

 cused for physical disability or by reason of their being 

 obliged to support themselves by their own labor, re- 

 quired to drill three days a week, one hour each day, 

 during the first and third terms of the Freshman and 

 Sophomore years. Each student is required to provide 

 himself with the uniform of the corps. Arms and ac- 

 coutrements are furnished by the government. The 

 drill is under the charge of an officer in the regular 

 army who is specially detailed for this service. Every 

 student on entering the University is carefully examined 

 by the Professor of Physical Culture, and if found 

 defective in bodily development is required to take 

 special exercise suited to his needs in the gymnasium. 

 It is open for voluntary exercise to all other students 

 free of charge.
