Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthropometric Manual: Giving the Average and Mean Physical Measurements and Tests of Male College Students and Method of Securing Them If we are to devote our attention, before all things, to what can be measured or weighed. The living man is the first object which demands our investigation. Carl Vogt. The study of Anthropometry, or the proportions of the human body, is not modern, but reaches back to the remote civilization of India, when we find a treatise called Silpi Sastri, which investi gated the outline of the body by dividing it into 480 parts. In later times the Greeks proposed a Canon or model in the shape of a statue called Doryphoros, which was claimed to be the pattern for the human figure. Still later the mathematical law was applied to the human body, an entirely artificial system hence we obtain the terms cubit, hand-breadth, ell and so on. An Italian sculptor, Alberti, proposed a module of one foot in height, which was divided into ten degrees and minutes, as a standard for the proportions of the human body. In 1854 a German, Carus, proposed an anatomical basis for determining human bodily proportions, assuming the hand length for the unit, and the adult vertebral column of 24 free vertebrae, to be the key to these proportions. But the father of Anthropometry is Baron Quetelet of Belgium, who, in the middle part of the present century, offered the actual measurements of the body and the means and averages deduced from them as the true and scientific way of ascertaining human proportions; adopting the Baconian method of reasoning from the effect to the cause, from the concrete to the abstract. Of course in the Divine mind there is the ideal or plan not only of the great groups of animals but of man also. And this idea is not given to us as complete and clear as the human architect furnishes the plans and specifications of the house he will build. We are left to study and work out what this plan may be. There is thus furnished to us the joy and stimulus of new discovery, and the impulse of advanced knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthropometric Manual: Giving Physical Measurements and Tests of Male College Students, and the Method of Securing Them When the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education was established in Amherst College, one of the first matters attended to was the Physical measurement and tests of the students. The methods were crude and simple in 1861 and 1862, for the word Anthropometry had hardly found its way into an American Dictionary at that time. A few simple tests and examinations were made then of every student in the College, and now, with enlargements and improvements made ever since, the last student on the books is number 2647, and the records are all preserved. A prominent thought in securing these measurements was to take them at least once each year, and thus enable the student to see his own growth. It was also hoped it would show the effect of the new system of Physical Culture upon the College. Besides there was to be presumed a generous rivalry between individuals and the different classes, to determine excellence and superiority. And in the mind of President Stearns - the father of the Department - there was a need to attend to the physical as well as to the intellectual and moral growth of the young men. And closely akin to this was the belief that with a more thorough attention to the physical man the many who were defective, and unable to do their best head work might be improved and made more efficient men now and hereafter. So that if the young man were weak from heredity or poor development, there should attention be given to find out where this weakness was, and ways might be devised to correct and eradicate the non-developement. All this meant the study of the student; what his present condition might be; what he brought with him from father and mother; and what the average young man ought to be as he goes through college.
