STATEMENT OF WORK

A. GENERAL

In so far as it is the function of education to train the growing individual for usefulness in life, to that extent physical education must demand attention in any proper scheme of educational work, since the capacity for usefulness is so largely determined by the physical health of the individual.

This Division is organized to supply the opportunity for such physical work as experience has shown to be necessary under modern conditions, to counteract the deleterious effects of close application to mental work and to favor the attainment by the student body of a high state of physical efficiency. The work of this Division is organized under these heads: (a) Hygienic: (1) to aid function; (2) to develop form; (3) to correct undeveloped or deformed parts. (b) Educative: (1) to perfect nervous control; (2) to gain mental and moral self-control; (3) to develop muscular strength and endurance. (c) Recreative.

In order that these needs may be adequately supplied a large variety of work-hygienic, recreative, corrective, and competitive-is offered in regularly organized classes, in both gymnastics and athletics. Large opportunities are offered for individual work outside of the class organization, and provision is made for advice and assistance in such work.

Class work in Physical Culture is required of all undergraduate students not excused on account of physical disability, during four half-hours a week. Six quarters' work in Physical Culture is required of Junior College students, and four quarters of Senior College students. Students taking an excessive number of cuts will not be allowed to continue their University work until they shall conform to the requirements. Absences from Physical Culture count toward the extra minor required for every thirty absences accrued in any two consecutive quarters of a student's work. Should the number of a student's absences reach 25 per cent. of the whole number of class exercises, credit will be given for only half of the course. No credit will be given when the number of absences equals 50 per cent. of the class exercises.

It is intended that a thorough physical examination shall preface the work of every student in physical training. This examination will be made as soon as possible after the student enters the University and at intervals during his course. On the basis of information gained from this examination, suggestions for work and advice on health topics will be given each individual by the Medical Examiner.

No one will be permitted to study for four consecutive quarters in the University, or to do extra normal work, i. e., more than three courses per quarter, without first obtaining a statement from the Medical Examiner to the effect that the extra work may be attempted without a probable injury to the health of the student.

B. WORK FOR WOMEN

The plan of work is threefold: general class work, elective athletic work, and corrective work. The general class work consists of tactics, free standing, hand and heavy apparatus work, fancy steps, and gymnastic games. This work is graded elementary, intermediate, and advanced, thus offering the

students a change of work from year to year. The athletic work, which is elective, is taken in combination with the class work-two periods of each week-in order that the student by this combination may obtain the best possible development. The corrective work is given under special supervision to all those who are in need of special development, and also to those who are unable to do the regular class work. The elective athletic work is done under the direction of the Department and consists in the different seasons of basket-ball, indoor and outdoor baseball, field and ring hockey, rollerand ice-skating, tennis, golf, rowing and swimming, with fencing, fancy dancing, advanced club-swinging, tactic and apparatus work. The competitive side of the work is developed by match games during the year, culminating in the annual championship games for the silver cup and the banner between the Junior and Senior College teams, and with tournaments in the other sports and an annual gymnastic contest.

C. WORK FOR MEN

In addition to the regular class drill, a certain part of which consists of training in athletic sports, the University is represented by teams in the following sports: football, baseball, track and field athletics, tennis, basket-ball, water polo, and golf. Other teams besides these are formed to give the University teams practice. The plan of the Department contemplates the organization of class and college teams, Medical, Law, and Divinity School teams. This has already been accomplished in the Freshman class and in the four Junior Colleges.

Faithfulness and intelligence in training and practice count for more in securing places on the teams than individual brilliancy and natural ability alone.

BUILDINGS

Lexington Gymnasium.—The Lexington Hall Gymnasium is a temporary structure, built in the winter of 1903. It offers an unobstructed floor space, 70 by 71 feet, is partially equipped with new apparatus, and is provided with lockers, dressing-rooms, shower baths, and offices.

Bartlett Gymnasium.—The new Bartlett Gymnasium, a memorial to Frank Dickinson Bartlett, has been in use since the Autumn Quarter, 1903. It was formally dedicated on January 29, 1904. The building with equipment has cost over $275,000. It is 200 feet long by 80 feet wide. The basement floor contains three large dressing-rooms for the University and visiting teams, shower baths, Turkish baths, rubbing-room, stock-room, vaults, etc. The first floor has space for 1,500 lockers, 25 shower baths, a swimming-tank, Faculty exercising-room, and offices. The swimming-tank is 60 by 28 feet-a very convenient size for conducting swimming-races. It is beautifully fitted up with white tile. A gallery with seats for 200 people overlooks the water. The second or top floor is the exercising-room; it extends over the whole building, and is entirely free from pillars. A running-track varying in width from 12 feet 6 inches to 16 feet 6 inches, with 13.4 laps to the mile, extends around the walls 12 feet above the floor. The gymnasium has been equipped with the best and most modern apparatus, a large part of which is new in design and was made especially for this building. Provision has been made

by multiplying pieces of apparatus for the exercising of large squads of men at one time with the smallest loss of time to the individual. A large triple batting cage has been installed for winter baseball practice, and bleachers which will accommodate 900 persons have been built for use at athletic meets.

GROUNDS

For Women.-(a) Outdoor Gymnasium. A turfed field, 90 by 60 feet, adjoins the Lexington Gymnasium, and is used when the weather permits for class work and gymnastic games. (b) Hockey Field. The field at the corner of Woodlawn Avenue and Fifty-eighth Street is marked out and is used for hockey. (c) Athletic Field. The northeast corner of Marshall Field has been fenced off and is used for basket-ball, baseball, and other sports.

For Men. (a) Marshall Field includes two city squares and is fully equipped for all kinds of squad and competitive work. (b) Two concrete handball courts have been built west of the Bartlett Gymnasium for com

mon use.

In addition to the above fields and courts there are 18 tennis courts on the campus, which are used by both men and women students.

INTRODUCTORY

Biblical Theology, in that sense of the term in which it is employed in the title of this Department, is an historical science. Its object is to determine from the interpretation of the existing books of the Bible what were the ethical and religious beliefs of the several prophets, teachers, and writers, or of the several groups of related writers who represent distinct types of teaching, to state the beliefs of each such person or group in the relation to one another which they sustained in the mind of those who held them, and to trace the history of these ideas. It presupposes interpretation and accepts its results so far as they are well attested. Recognizing the possibility of difference of point of view on the part of different biblical writers, and of progress in the process of divine revelation, it has for its whole task the discovery and construction of the history of revelation as recorded in the Bible.
