PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Inter-fraternity athletic contests are the nearest approach to
the inter-mural system that we have yet seen in the middle west.
State universities as a class are very slow to adopt the idea. As
far as the state institutions are concerned, no real test of the uni
versal athletic plan has been made. We are left to judge of its
merits by the success attained in a few schools, and by the interest
taken in the near-attempts that are made at our own institution.
Little interest has been shown outside of strictly fraternity cir
cles, toward the inter-fraternity tournament now in progress. Few
of the participants have demonstrated much enthusiasm. The games
are attended by a small gathering of those immediately concerned.
The players do not get into the game for the physical exercise they
may get, but merely because they think it their duty to the frater
nity. They dread to think of the stiff muscles that the exertion will
produce on 'the day following. No joy or zest is taken in the
games. Few non-fraternity people know that such a tournament is
actually in progress.
University students generally are in a state of physical apathy.
They do not appear ready to accept or take advantage of a system
of inter-mural athletics, designed for the development of their
physical being. They enjoy watching a football game from the
grand stand. They applaud the display of physical prowess on the
gridiron, and are keenly interested in the battle of physical strength.
They do not, however, have any desire to get on the field them- ,
selves, and actively take part in the game. They are too lazy for j
that. The physical exertion necessitated is abhorred. (
Students need to be awakened to the realization that they must J
lobk to the physical side of their education as well as to the men- j
tal. Enough has been said on the necessity of bodily soundness.
It is not necessary to have the body of a Hercules, but it is quite j
necessary to have a body that functions properly, and one that can j
digest, and take care of three meals a day. It is unnecessary to i
look to the football field for the development of such a body. It ,
can be developed in the gymnasium, or "indeed within the con
fines of one's own room, quite as well.
Thysical training should be compulsory for every university
student, and with the advantages of an inter-mural system such as
has been outlined in our columns before, no student would object
to such compulsion. Every student would be examined for the pur
pose of determining the type of athletics which would be most bene
ficial for him. It might be football for one, golf for another, bas
ketball for a third, and tennis for a fourth. Interest in one's own
body would be enlivened, and the prevailing spirit of apathy would
be buried. Football, basketball; even inter-fraternity contests, do
not solve the problem. The final solution to arousing the interest
of every student, is to get each one interested in HIS OWN BODY,
and not in the some one's else. He admires the muscles of the
trained athlele, but that doesn't materially benefit him. What we
need is the universal plan, which gives to each individual student
the benefit of physical training as administered by competent di
rectors in scientific doses, suited to the individual needs of each one.
FOREIGN STUDENTS IN SWITZERLAND
When the war broke out, there were several thousand foreign
students in the universities of Switzerland. Over half of these were
women. They represented some thirty nations, including all the
belligerents. Suddenly hundreds of these students found themselves
cut off from all means of getting either news or money.
Before long the number of foreign students in Switzerland was
increased by many Russian students who had been in other coun
tries and who fled for refuge to peaceful Switzerland. The refugees
arrived without much except the clothes in which they traveled.
There are now some five hundred refugee university students in
Switzerland not only Russians, but also Poles, Czechs, Croats,
Serbs, Greeks, French and Belgians. The Russians have steadily re
fused tempting loans or subsidies offered by the Bolsheviki, say
ing, "We would die first."
As to the men students, the secretaries of the Student Christian
Federation in Switzerland are constantly asked, "Why do they not
go home to fight?" And as to the women, "Why do they not seek
work?" To most of these men and women a return home has been
impossible, first, because of the enemy countries lying between
Switzerland and their homeland, and, second, as In Russia, because
of the dreadful change in the homeland itself. Moreover, the men
students are mainly those who, on physical grounds, have been re
fused for military service. Men and women alike have aimed at
self-support, but employment has been hard to find.
The appeal to American generosity is, first of all, to give food to
these students.
The Student Christian Federation is helping the foreign stu
dents in Switzerland materially and spiritually. Students In this
country might well aid this work. Contrlbutionhs to it from them
and others should be sent to Mr. B. H. Fancher, treasurer of the
International Committee of Young Mn Christian Assoe:uun.
