For the first time in the history of intercollegiate aquatic sports, the National Collegiate A. A., whose swimming committee has done much to standardize college water sports throughout the country, will this year adopt a list of national collegiate aquatic records. The task of investigating the best performances was entrusted some time ago to Frank Sullivan, coach of the Princeton swimming team, and he has submitted the following marks, well vouched for, which will undoubtedly receive recognition by the authorities:
