Athletics Helpful After School Days, Says Mrs. Esterly University Well Fitted to Give Training Is Opinion “ ‘Mens sana in corpore sano’,’1 quoted Mrs. Virginia Esterly, dean of women, “A sound mind in a sound body. “Some type of athletics in the form of free play is desirable and essential in rounding out the devel opment of the University woman,” continued Mrs. Esterly. “Athletic training is even more valuable to the college girl after college than during her college career, for the college athlete is graduated with a body physically fit for future work.” Mrs. Esterly believes that the competitive idea and point system in athletics are valuable in induc ing girls to enter this field. It stimulates their interest, she says. The University of Oregon has practically all forms of athletics available, so that each woman stu dent can enter some form that in terests her. Dean Esterly believes that the college woman who has a body physically fit, has probably also a clear mind for good scholastic work.
