“Columbia does require a swim test to graduate. Does any other college?”

Williams used to. I did a thesis for my degree, and, looking back at it, I’m sorry I did. There were simply better learning opportunities available to me without it, and the product was non-too-impressive either. I spent about an hour in the Reed library looking through the theses there as well, and, on the whole, I was equally unimpressed.

But it certainly is a good experience for some students, which is why I think the option should be there, for some students.
