Dr. John W. Bowler, professor of Physical Education and Hygiene, and Director of the Gymnasium at Dartmouth has announced the formal opening of "Bowler Farms", a health resort, at Marlboro, Massachusetts.
Dr. Bowler purchased the property some five years ago and has since made large improvements on it with the idea of developing something not so much a sanatarium as a place of pleasant abode where persons suffering from complaints which yield to physical training might find relief.
His theory is that the establishments which now undertake work of this kind are in general either too severe or too monotonously institutional in their regimen. Both of these tendencies he hopes to overcome at Bowler Farms. There are some three hundred and fifty acres in the farms, comprising a considerable variety of territory for outdoor exercise; while a good-sized gymnasium affords opportunity for indoor work.
Those who are acquainted with Dr. Bowler's unusual success in conditioning Dartmouth athletic teams during the past fifteen years, will have no doubt of his success in an undertaking that demands both tact and skill in very large degree.
