“Mens sana in corpore sano,” “a healthy mind in a
healthy body,” is often quoted in speaking about the importance
of maintaining a balance of physical and mental health.
The first classes of students at the College of New Rochelle had
an hour of gymnastics and sports daily; twice annual interclass
“Meets” of basketball and outdoor sports fostered class spirit.
Attendance at lectures on diet, exercise, rest, work, and dress
was required of freshmen. Two years of non-credit Physical
Education continues today at CNR.
The Wellness Center, 2008, is the third building for student
sports. Chidwick’s gymnasium , 1906,(area, now closed), the
Sports Building, 1932 ( demolished for the Wellness Center) have
given CNR students a place and space to maintain physical and
spiritual well being during their years of study.
In the first six decades at CNR there was required attendance
at dinner for resident students (think: a regular balanced diet
and portion control!). For an extra afternoon snack, students
walked to the “ville” for tea at Schrafft’s or sundaes at
the Boston Spa. Study hour began at 8 pm, and obligatory lights
out at 11 pm gave time for enough sleep.
