Hiking is to become an officially recognized form of exercise in Freshman physical training, it was announced yesterday by Dr. Alfred Worcester '78, best of that department in Wadsworth House.
"We are trying to formulate a plan whereby hiking may be put on the same basis as the other elective sports open to Freshmen, without making it merely a loop-hole for those men who are try to side-step the requirement explained Dr. Worcester to the CRIMSON. "There are a good many men who seem to show no interest in regularly organized sports, and a considerable number who are physically unable to take part in them. It is for these men that we are providing opportunity for hiking.
"It is still uncertain what the requirements for this form of exercise will be it is most likely, however, that likely will go out in twos and threes rather than in a large crowd, as the department has no wish to start a Boys' Hiking Club.
