new flags are received. This flag will
be given only to men, who will have
the title Yachtsman, who pass an ex-
amination in the handling of a canoe,
in swimming, and in life-saving. Boat
club members who do not pass the
tests will fly a flag with the colors
reversed. The Boat club will do all it
can to help men pas the tests, and
will arrange to have men coached in
each one of the branches.
Candidates for-the yachtsman's flag
must secure application cards from
W. B. Thom, '15, chairman of the
board, or at the Union desk. These
must be taken to each member of the
examining board, which consists of a
representative of the University Health
Service, D. H. William, eng. spec., an4
A. D. Chipman, '14. Each of these men
will quiz and examine the novice in
swimming, boatmanship, or life-saving
and resuscitation. If he is passed by
all of these men, he will be given the
flag, which may then be secured at the
Union.
Boat club members only will be per-
mitted to fly either the yachtsman's
flag or the member's flag. Persons
interested in learning how to pass the
tests or in taking them, should com-
municate with the chairman of the
board. The flags will not arrive until

members of the board.
