General Requirements

I. All first-year students registered for Physical Education are given a
medical examination. This examination is conducted by the University
Physician and his staff and is given free of charge during specified periods.
A fee is charged for examinations given outside of regular hours.

II. First Year: Three hours per week of physical activity for three terms,
in any of the courses or sports offered for each term.

Three hours per week of Hygiene for one term.

Second Year: Three hours per week of physical activity for three terms,
in any of the courses or sports offered for each term.

All Physical Education courses are classified as First-Year Activities;
Second-Year Activities; Hygiene and Corrective Activities. Three session-hours
of credit are awarded for the successful completion of two years of

Physical Education. Courses are conducted by the Staff of the School of
Physical Education.

The First-Year Activities offer several courses of floorwork instruction
from which each student elects three (a different activity each term) in
which he participates during his first year.

In addition to the above regular Physical Education courses a student
may elect any approved athletic sport in season. There are from ten to
twelve athletic activities offered by the Division of Athletics. Thus from
a group of over twenty different activities each first-year man selects the
three which appeal to him most and follows his choice each term.

All first-year floorwork courses meet three days each week for three
terms.

First-year Hygiene students meet three days each week for one term.
This course is given in addition to the floorwork and the student may be
assigned to either the Fall or the Winter term section.
