bring into action one or more sets of muscles, and all can be adjusted to the capacity of a child or of an athlete....” [Illustration: FIG. 79.—Harvard University: Hemenway Gymnasium (1885).] According to the university catalogue published in 1880, “The attendance is voluntary, and the system adopted is one designed to meet the special wants of each individual. Realizing the great diversity in age, size, and strength, as well as in health, of the students who attend the University, the Director makes no attempt to group them into classes which pursue the same course of exercises. Upon entering the University, each student is entitled to an examination by the Director, in which his physical proportions are measured, his strength tested, his heart and lungs examined, and information is solicited concerning his general health and inherited tendencies. From the data thus procured, a special order of appropriate exercises is made out for each student, with specifications of the movements and apparatus which he may best use. After working on this prescription for three to six months, the student is entitled to another examination, by which the results of his work are ascertained, and the Director (is) enabled to make a further prescription for his individual case.”[263] [Illustration: FIG. 80.—Harvard University: Hemenway Gymnasium (1885).] A “Handbook of Developing Exercises” was printed in 1882, and a revised and enlarged edition, with illustrations, in 1889. The skeleton Anthropometric Chart (percentile) described in _Scribner’s Magazine_ for July, 1887 (II: 3-17), had been issued the year before, and in 1893 table charts were ready, “designed to show the distribution of any American community as to physical power and proportions,” and ranging “from ten to twenty-six years of age for either sex, there being one for each age, except that the ages from twenty-two to twenty-six for men, and from eighteen to twenty-six for women are combined.” In this same year the life-size statues of typical American students, man and woman, were exhibited at the World’s Fair in Chicago.
