- ↑ Professor Richards well says: "It will be found that athletes in general are beginning to learn that to excellence and success, even in any special kind of exercise, a uniform muscular development contributes quite as much as the training of a few sets of muscles." And he cites President Garfield: "There is no way in which you can get so much out of a man as by training; not in pieces but the whole of him! and the trained men, other things being equal, are to be the masters of the world."
