The  Special  Committee  on  Athletics,  which  had  been  considering 
the  advisability  of  establishing  a  Department  of  Physical  Culture, 
made  a  lengthy  report.  After  some  discussion,  and  amendment, 
the  report  was  adopted.  The  Department  will  be  under  the  control 
of  a  Physical  Director  (preferably  one  having  -a  medical  degree) 
who  will  examine  the  students  to  determine  the  amount  of  physical 
exercise  each  one  may  require.  Three  members  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  to  be  called  the  Sub-Committee  on  Physical  Culture,  will 
have  charge  and  account  for  all  funds  appropriated  for  this  De- 
partment.
