With the march of progress the aversation (vide Bacon) to washing all the body at once seems to be dying a slow but natural death. It is not quite dead yet, for swimming at V.U.C. has not received the support one would be lead to expect. However, there has been a revival of the Swimming Club, and good results are to be expected in the near future. Now swimming does not merely take the place of Palmolive in life. The 'Varsity Club performs many other useful functions. Let us enumerate:—

(1)	Free vitamins—you get these from the sun.
(2)	Exercise—this is obtained by cleaving the breakers and running up and down afterwards to get dry.
(3)	That popular brown colour—how much you get of this depends entirely on the size of your costume.
(4)	Appetite—at the Club picnics you learn to enjoy anything and everything taken with a pinch of sand.
(5)	Companionship—there are other people in the Club as nice as you are.
