Each student is required to undergo a physical examination so that a correct knowledge of his bodily condition may be obtained, and proper exercises prescribed. Regular classes are formed for drill on the various gymnasium appliances. Lectures are given upon personal hygiene. All competitive athletic games are under the direct supervision of the director of physical training, and his examination is required to show that membership on any team will not cause injury, but will tend to improve the physical condition. No student whose class work is unsatisfactory will be allowed to play on a University team. Two courses are offered students who wish to prepare as instructors of physical training or coaches of athletic teams. FOR WOMEN The general health and development of the young women are carefully looked after by the director of the women's gymnasium. Each student comes under the personal observation of the director and is given a physical examination, in order that her physical condition may be known, suitable exercise prescribed, and advice given. The system adopted is designed to meet the special wants of each student. Systematic class drill is given in Swedish, American and Delsarte gymnastics, including free and light exercises, dumbbells, clubs, wands, marching, fancy-steps, the May-pole games, basket ball, military drill, and, if advisable, exercise on the various pieces of apparatus. The grounds of the University afford ample means for out-door recreation. There are four tennis courts, golf links, basket ball court, and field for other athletic sports. Every freshman, not physically disqualified, must take the prescribed work. Students may elect enough to make five hours' credit, including that for prescribed work. The women's gymnasium occupies very attractive quarters in Natural History Hall, and is well equipped. The gymnasium is open for exercise, at certain hours, under suitable restrictions, to those who are not enrolled in classes. The uniform consists of navy blue serge blouse and divided skirt, and black slippers. HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION The Hospital Association is an organization of students to provide a fund for hospital care in case of sickness. The members of the association pay a fee of fifty cents each semester and the fund thus raised is used to pay the hospital expenses of members who may need such care. The fund is under the control of a committee of the Faculty, and during the last three years the association has rendered valuable aid to a considerable number of members. Students are strongly advised to join the association. EXPENSES BOARD The University does not furnish board, but there is a dining hall in the basement of University Hall, and under University supervision, where good meals may be obtained at reasonable rates. There are, also, a large number of suitable private places in Urbana and Champaign, within walking distance of the University, and easily accessible by electric railway, where students can obtain table board and rooms. There are several students' clubs at which the cost of meals is about two dollars and seventy-five cents a week. The Business Manager and the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations of the University will aid new students in procuring rooms and boarding places.

CAUTION TO PARENTS STUDENTS' FUNDS The Business Manager will receive on deposit any funds parents may entrust to him to meet the expenses of their sons and daughters. No greater error can be committed than to send young people from home with large amounts of spending money, and without the authoritative care of some prudent friend. Half the dissipation in colleges springs from excessive allowances of money. * Students of law and music, special students and pupils of the Preparatory School, must make needed changes in the amount given for "Semester fees." |
