MUST SWIM

_TO GRADUATE; |
"NEW RULE AT VASSAR

"+ Rope Climbing Required Too



_ “No one who is not a swimmer can/

graduate from Vassar”, said Miss Ballan-

News reporter, “unless she is physically
unable to swim. This has been made a
- faculty rule, going into effect with the

class of 1920. There are only twenty
Freshmen who cannot swim already.
Every Freshman also has to learn how to
come down a rope, if not to climb it, in
case of fire, or other emergency”.

Miss Ballintine has been compiling sta-
tistics in regard to swimming require-
ments in different colleges. Out of 18
colleges investigated, 9 required swim-
ming and 2 did not reply. Only one of
the remaining 7 had a pool.

No Second Teams

There is only one class team for a
sport at Vassar. All those not members
of the teams are coached in squads.
Seniors are not required to exercise un-
less they play on a class team. No one
deficient in academic work can play on a
Vassar team, except for ice-hockey,
which has a very short season.

PAINTER SPEAKS BEFORE
CLASS IN MODERN PAINTING



Says Picasso Is as Great as Rembrandt



Mr. Sayen, an American painter who
worked under Matisse, spoke before Pro-
fessor Georgiana King’s class in Modern
Painting last Friday. Color and form
without “literary” associations, he said,
make true art.

Tracing the history of art from Dela-
croix till to-day, Mr. Sayen said that Pi-
easso was as great a painter as Rem-
brandt. ‘He has all the essential qualities
without the extraneous, picturesque non-
essentials. Our complicated pictorial
ideas”, he said, “interfere with our grasp
of the purely visual combinations of
color, form, and line”.

The Synchromists, with whom Mr.
Sayen has affinities, aim at giving color
a formal and compositional value. Mr.
Sayen was working in Paris until the out-
break of the war.

VARSITY WATER-POLO SEASON
‘OPENS WITH EXHIBITION GAME

Vassar Physical Director Present



Varsity water-polo practice began Sat-
urday morning with an exhibition game

‘}/in honor of Miss Ballintine, physical di-

rector at Vassar College,.who was one of
the judges at the gymnasium contest on
Friday, and who had never seen a game
of water-polo before. “We play water-
basket-ball at Vassar”, she explained.
Splashing spoiled the play at first, but
later both teams settled down to cleaner
work. Miss Applebee refereed the game.
The line-up was constantly changed, but

‘|started out with five members of last

year’s Varsity: M. Willard ’17, M. O’Con-

nor '18, M. Strauss 18, T. Howell "18, and

F. Howell '19. The scrubs who played
were; 1917, A. Davis, E. Dulles, M. Scat-
tergood; 1918, L. Pearson, A. Newlin;
1919, BE. Lanier, A. Thorndike; 1920, M.
M. Carey, M. Ballou.

DISCUS AND SHOTPUT
MAY REPLACE
BASKET- AND BASEBALL THROWS



The discus and the shotput have been
suggested for this year’s track in place of
the old basket-ball and baseball throws.
In a meeting of the track and basket-ball
captains Miss Applebee advocated the
discus and M. Thompson ‘17 the shotput.

In case these changes are made Miss
Applebee proposes that Mr. Dirysus, a
Greek athlete who has won great fame in
the Olympic games, be secured, if possi-
ble, to teach discus throwing. The main
objection to throwing balls for distance,
Miss Applebee believes, is that success in
such events depends merely upon
strength. The discus and the shotput,
she thinks, require not so much strength
as skill.
