V. Physical Training.
Action of Synod.

Upon recommendation of Committee 1, Synod adopted the recommenda-
tion of the Committee on Higher Education in the following form: —

With regard to physical training of the students at our colleges and
seminaries it is recommended —

1) That Synod encourage the respective boards of control to provide
physical training for all students under qualified leadership and instruction;

2) That, as Synod at present is unable to provide funds for this physical
training, the local boards be directed to make an effort to obtain the needed
funds through donations from individuals and organizations and, if necessary,
from student fees. ,

Committee 1 also recommended : —

That in addition to the physical examination required by the rules and
regulations of Synod in this respect, viz., that applicants submit to a physical -
examination before they are enrolled at our institutions, a student be re- |
examined annually by the college physician and that before the dismissal of
the candidates these undergo another general medical examination.

. Action of Synod.
These recommendations of Committee 1 were adopted.
