MANY COLLEGES Have
fine SWIMMING POOLS
Fifteen Per Cent Of Large institutions
Have Permanent Natatoriums
Every Section Represented.
(Rx Associated Press.l

New York, March ga recent CEN
sus of the various universities, col
leges, and schools, which support swim
ming teams and pools, show about fif-
teen per cent of the larger institutions
possess permanent natatoriums. These
pools vary in size from few hundred
to close to 5000 square feet. The list
shows that every section of the coun-
try is represented, and that there are
more than 100 pools of standard size
in addition to those in the Y. M. c. AS,
and athletic club houses Of the larger
cities.
So far as figures are available, the
record indicates that Stanford Univer-
sity of California, and the United
States Naval and Military academies,
have the largest pools. The Stanford
tank is 100 by 40 feet: the Navy, 80
by so and Army, 80 by 40. While there
is no standard length or width for such
pools, the average length is about three
times the width. A peculiar angle of
the investigation was the development
Of the fact that many of the institu-
tons with large pools have no special
swimming or life saving requirements,
the student use of the pool being pure
ly voluntary and entirely outside of the
class, or physical culture curriculum.
