Charles Wesley Emerson wants you to get ready for finals!
Fresh from the Emerson College Archives: here are three out of the five exercises in the “bending exercises” regiment from Charles Wesley Emerson’s Physical Culture textbook. Emerson students used to do regular exercises to prepare themselves for their oratory recitals. Be sure to read up on the "hygienic effect" of these workouts in the lower right hand paragraph. Perhaps these moves will ease your pain after a long night of studying!
