Report on Physical Training.

The Faculty committee who have been considering the plans for a new new system of organized physical training have presented a favorable report, and the matter is now in the hands of the Faculty. The report has been discussed at two meetings already and will almost surely come up again next week. It is practically in agreement with the Overseers' report which appeared some time ago in regard to a required course for Freshmen. The members of the committee are Professors Byerly, Hollis, Davis, Grandgent and White, Dr. Fitz, and Mr. Coolidge.

In addition to the strong undergraduate desire for a carefully supervised system of training which was made manifest at the mass meeting shortly after the movement began, the college sentiment has been sounded in another way. Out of 598 members of English courses who were requested to express their opinions in daily themes, 502 declared themselves strongly in favor of the proposal. Of the remainder, some were opposed, but most were indifferent.

In fact undergraduate, and, so far as it has been expressed, graduate opinion, seems united in its supported. The final decision of the Faculty will be awaited with great intest.
