SCHOOL AND COLLEGE NEWS
Princeton Men Must Hereafter Swim
or Forfeit Diplomas on
Graduation Day,
NOTES FROM STATE COLLEGES

PRINCETON. N. j., Feb. 7,-That all
students OF Princeton university must
pass a stringent swimming test before
they are eligible for diplomas is a recent
mandate here that is meeting with strict
enforcement. The rule applies to the pres
ent 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 mastery Of at least two strokes
DR.. Joseph e. Raycroft, physical di-
rector of Princeton, tells OF q large pro-
portion of entering students who are un-
able TO swim more than a short distance.
He SAYS, ''of every entering class fifty
or sixty students arc unable 20 swim at
all and about 100 can swim poorly, Thus
about third OF each entering class must
be instructed in the essentials Of SWIM
ming. In addition to the above number
Is per cent more of the class require
certain amount OF further practice be-
fore they become able to pass the test"
The Princeton director of swimming.
Frank J. Sullivan. points out, 1.-THE re-
suit of the enforcement OF this rule Is
that every man in Princeton, with but
few exceptions. il able to swim before
be graduates, thus making a record the
like of which no other university, college,
athletic club or preparatory school Is
able to boast. other colleges have so
called tests. but they are more or less
farcicaI. Pennsylvania's test is only
thirty-three yards and Columbia's twenty
five. The universities of Chicago, Wis
consin and Illinois all have tests, but
they are the same callber.
When the distance for the Princeton
test was first discussed the following
facts were taken into consideration: A
man can swim twenty-five yards by mere
brute strength, without having any rec
ognized stroke. A man who has stroke
which will carry him for 100 yards, could
swim 200 yards in an emergency. and
when man can swim 200 yards he will
be able to cover two miles when there
is need for IL.
Besides swinnmins, the first PRINCIPLES
OF life saving are part Of the class work
and must be thoroughly mastered. The
details and more difficult features, more
over. are taught In the Life Saving club.
whose tests are harder than any other
like organization in the world, not even
excepting the Royal Life Saving society
OF London, which is supposed to be the
club par excellence.
THE time will come when swimming
Will be taught in the high schools and
even in the grammar schools. as is now
being done in Australia. Germany and
