PE. 1, 2, 3,". Physical Education. First, second and third terms.
All undergraduate students are required to participate in some form of physical
education. This requirement may be satisfied by engaging in organized sports,
which include both intercollegiate and intramural athletics, or in other sports
luch as boxing, wrestling, and fencing, which are not at present a part of intramural
or intercollegiate competition. If the student does not choose to participate
in any of these sports, he may satisfy the physical education requirement by independent
exercise, which must be reported regularly to the Division of Physical
Education.
The intramural sports comprise competition among Student House, Throop
Club, and class teams in baseball, basketball, swimming, tennis, handball, etc.
Representative freshman and varsity teams in the major sports are developed and
trained by experienced coaches. Fair-spirited and clean-cut athletic competition
is encouraged for its social and physical values, and as a focus for a unity of student
interest.
During the freshman year, all students are given physical strength and skill
tests in the first and third terms. These tests are used as a basis for determining
the proper exercise for individual students and for measuring the benefits obtained
therefrom. Corrective or special exercises are prescribed for physically deficient
students.
