Princeton Diplomas Only
For Those Who Can Swim

Princeton. y. J.. Jan. 6.-That all
students Of Princeton University must
pass a stringent swimming test before
they are eligible for diplomas is a re-
cent mandate here that is meeting
with strict enforcement. The rule ap-
plies to the present senior class and
there are several members of the class
who must pass the test before June or
have their graduation deferred. The
test is to swim 200 yards. showing a
mastery OF at least two strokes.
DIR. Joseph f. Raycroft, physical di-
rector at Princeton. tells OF q large
proportion of entering students who
are unable to swim more than a short
distance. He says: "Of every enter
ing class fifty or sixty students are
unable to swim at all and about 100
can swim poorly. Thus about a third
OF each entering class must be in
structed in the essentials of swimming
in addition to the above number Is
per cent. more of the class require a
certain amount of further practice be-
fore they become able to pass the
test"
The Princeton director of SWIM
ming. Frank J. Sullivan. points out:
The result of the enforcement of this
rule is that every man in Princeton.
with but few exceptions. is able to
swim before he graduates, thus maxi
ing record the like OF which no other
university, college, athletic club or
preparatory school is able to boast"
