SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.
All students registered in the College are required to take two years of
physical training, which must be completed by the end of the student's second
year. This regulation applies to those who are preparing for the study
of medicine, law, engineering or other profession, as well as those applying
for academic degrees. Exception to this regulation can only be obtained
through the Director of Physical Education, with the consent of the Dean of
the College.
Regulations.—Each college student must present himself to the medical
examiners at the Memorial Gymnasium immediately after completing his
registration, for examination and classification. This examination is free for
a period of ten days after registration, after which date a fee of five dollars is
charged.
Physical defects are not accepted as sufficient reason for failing to register
for physical training since group or individual exercises will be prescribed
in such cases.
Men who can pass the test for advanced standing may elect to exercise
under the coaches of first year squads. In such elections credit will be allowed
in only one quarter for any sport, and credit is allowed only on report
of complete attendance by the manager of the team squad.
Absences.—All excused absences must be made up, hour for hour, during
the quarter in which they occur. Two hours of work are required to
make up the unexcused absence. One hour of work makes up for two marks
in tardiness.
Advanced students from another college who offer credit for physical
training must present the evidence to the Director, in person.
