The Department of Hygiene is made up of the divisions of Physical
Training, Physiology, Bacteriology, Health Examination,
Recreational Instruction, and Athletics.

Through these divisions the Department attempts to train young
men for the exigencies of life through the establishment of
enduring habits of health examination and repair, health
information and individual and community protection against the
agents that injure health and cause disease, and through the
establishment of wise habits of daily life.

This organization gives opportunity for the development of
neglected organic and neuromuscular growth, coordination and
control; for the social, ethical, and moral training (character
building influences) inherent in wisely supervised athletic and
recreational experiences; and for the special conditioning that
accompanies training for severe physical and physiological
competition and other tests.

Finally, preparation may be secured for life work along certain
lines of research, certain medical sciences, various phases of
public health, physical training and social work.

In addition, this Department is concerned with all those
influences within the College which affect the health of the
student. Every reasonable effort is made to keep the institution
safe and attractive to the clean, healthy individual.
