Princeton Diplomas Only For Those Who Can Swim sf«iel to The Telegraph Princeton. N. J., Jan. 6.—That all students of Princeton University must pr.ss a stringent swimming test before they are eligible for diplomas is a re cent mandate here that is meeting with strict enforcement. The rule ap plies to the present 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 a mastery of at least two strokes. Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, physical di rector at Princeton, tells of a large proportion of entering students who are unable to swim more than a short distance. He says: "Of every enter ing class fifty or sixty students are unable to swim at all and about 100 <an swim poorly. Thus about a third of each entering class must be in structed in the essentials of swimming In addition to the above number 15 per cent, more of the class require a certain amount of further practice be fore they become able to pass the test." The Princeton director of swim ming. Frank J. Sullivan, points out: "The result of the enforcement of this rule is that every man in Princeton, with but few exceptions, is able to swim before he graduates, thus mak ing a record the like of which no other university, college, athletic club or preparatory school is able to boast."
