In Physical Education (1892) edited by James Naismith and Luther Halsey Gulick, reviews this report saying "this report shows the relation of physical training to health, strength, scholarship, morals, in a most terse straightforward and satisfactory way." Robert T. McKenzie was the room mate of Dr. James Naismith while attending McGill University 1883-1888. He wrote "Reminiscences of James Naismith" which details his experiences with Dr. James Naismith. Dr. McKenzie gives a unique account of how Naismith impacted his life.
