Southern <strong>California</strong> Intercollegiate Conference, <strong>of</strong> which the <strong>Institute</strong><br />
is a member. Representative freshmen and varsity teams, trained by<br />
experienced coaches, in the major sports are developed. Fair-spirited<br />
and clean-cut athletic competition is encouraged as a part <strong>of</strong> the physical<br />
program for its social and physical values, and as a foundation for<br />
genuine college spirit. During the freshman and sophomore years, all<br />
students are given physical examinations and strength tests in the first<br />
and third terms. These tests are used as a basis <strong>of</strong> comparison with<br />
other men <strong>of</strong> the same weight and height. Corrective or special exercises<br />
