shows an appreciation. How many
men in this institution are appre
ciative of the work done by our yell
leaders and especially their leader
during the past season? Do they not
deserve some form of recognition of
their services besides which is com
monly verbally passed upon them?
If so, why not talk it up and have
everyone get on the line? The new
athletic blankets have arrived and
are now in use. How would a
small reproduction of the emblem
(on these blankets) with A. M. C.
in place of the T. look on a V-
necked sweater?

One of the Great Advantages of This
College is the Physical
Developments.
That the students of the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College are in
unusually good physical condition is
supported by facts brought out in a
report by Dr. William J. Young, Pro
fessor of Physical Education. The

report is based upon the physical
examination of 463 Freshmen. The
report shows that 313 or 67 per cent
are slightly under weight and 152
or 30 per cent are slightly over
weight; while only 8 or 1 per cent

the fact that all had just returned
from holidays—this is an exception
however, and each week beginning
with this issue the Battalion will be
published. Its size and content de
pends on its support from the stu
dent body. Therefore, don’t turn
down the request for an article, but
do your best—the attempt will be ap
preciated. Remember the place to
turn in all material is 78 Milner and
15 Foster.
We have recently been the re
cipients of a very good suggestion
from one of the student body and it-
appeals so much in all of its phases
that we put it before you in the
form of a good proposition and ask
you to think it over. If it im
presses you favorably a little action
would suffice to insure its promotion
and adoption. In other great insti
tutions similar to A. and M. there
is a custom of remembering the yell
leaders with a gift as a token of ap
preciation for services rendered dur
ing their time in this capacity. This
is usually in the form of a sweater
or jersey and many bear what insig-
tions were taken in the early part of
the fall and in most cases correction
of weight has been largely obtained
through physical evercise and drill
during the term. Of actual physical
defects only 10 or 2 per cent show
defects in the upper extremities and
17 or 3 per cent show defects of the
lower extremities outside of flat
feet. Nine students show obstructed
breathing and 85 had eye defects
that required glasses. Twelve had
Cardiac defects and 14 had defective
hearing.
It is the policy of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College to give a
physical examination to every stu
dent who enters the institution, and
a careful card record is kept of all
physical defects that are revealed.
/The Doctor of Physical Education
requires corrective exercises for those
possessing defects that can he cor
rected through physical exercise.
The unusually good health record
and generally good physical condi
tion of the students at the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College is
largely due to the careful articu
lation of these physical examinations,
athletic exercise, military drill, and
the careful attention given to the
students by the College Surgeon and
nurses.
