Personal Interest

 

Mr. Ralph Piper has sent in a copy of the program for a "Physical Fitness
School for Minneapolis High School Leaders" held on December 28-31, 1942. The
purpose of this school was to discuss the needs and means for fitness and to demon-
strate quite a variety of physical activities which could be used for physical
fitness programs.

Mr. Thomas McDonough of Emory University has sent an outline of the Emory Univer-
sity Physical Fitness Program. This program includes the physical examination,
follow-up work, testing program and various activities to be used during the physical
education periods.

A description of the physical education program at Syracuse University has been
sent in by Mr. John Shaw. For a number of years the Department of Physical Educa-
tion and Athletics at Syracuse has emphasized the physical fitness objective. Their
present program is re-emphasis of the type of program conducted there for several
years and a revision of the program content to meet certain requirements asked of
colleges by the United States Naval Training Division, Bureau of Aeronautics, and
the United States Army.

DePauw University has had an increased physical education requirement in effect
since the opening of the academic year in September, 1942. All freshmen and sopho-
mores have been required to enroll in physical education and all juniors and seniors
(at that time) in the age range of selective service. It is probable that now all
students aro enrolled in the physical education course.

Mr. Randolph W. Webster has been made Acting Director of the School of Physical
Education and Athletics at West Virginia University.

Lieut. Walter E. McCloud, CER, is stationed at the U. S. Navy Pre-Flight
School, St. Mary's College, California. Lieutenant McCloud was on the faculty of
Trinity College prior to his entrance into the Navy.
