List of the 50 Strongest Men in the University.

Below are given the records of the fifty strongest men in the University, made in accordance with the system adopted by Dr. Sargent. The points are reckoned as follows: The number of kilos. lifted with the back and legs straight, and the number of kilos. lifted with the legs bent, added to the strength of the grip of the right and left hands, expiratory power as tested by the manometer, and one tenth of the weight in kilos. multiplied by the number of times that the person can raise his weight by dipping between the parallel bars and pulling his weight up to his chin on the rings.

Of the 50 strongest men this year, 40 have made strength tests of over 1000; last year there were only nine with records above 1000. This year 784 men have taken the tests, of whom five have made under 300; 69 between 300 and 400; 128, 400-500; 186, 500-600; 165, 600-700; 109, 700-800; 82, 800-1000, and 40 above 1000. A. Lovering '98 hold the records for each separate test; last year the records for each test were divided among five men. Of the fifty highest strength tests this year 1900 made 13; '98, 9; '99, 8; '97, 7; Sp., 5; L. S., 4; Gr., 2; Med., 1.

The records as a whole this year have risen about two hundred points above last year's records and in this way seventy-two men whose strength tests are high enough to get on last year's list are unable to make this year's list.

Last year's list of the ten strongest men in the University since 1880 included eight graduates but this year only three graduates retain their places among the first ten. This shows the great improvement in this year's strength tests.
