The survey (re­ printed in last year's California Tech, and Engineering and Sci. . .., ,,,- ".,-" ence) showed that a large pro· portion of Caltech men engaged in some form of extra-curricular activity, and that more social af­ fairs were held at Cal tech. The report also stated that over 56% of the undergraduates engaged in intra-mural and in­ tercollegiate sports during the 1949·50 year. This was 11 % more than in the preceding year but still not up to the prewar level. In commenting upon the stu­ dent life, Dr. DuBridge said, liThe Institute has always had the pol· icy of providing opportunities for a well-rounded college life for all its students.
