SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

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

Physical defects are not accepted as sufficient reason for failing to
register for physical training since group or individual exercises will be prescribed
