So are many colleges, at least in part -- sometimes quite a large part.

I just don't see any problem at all with a college requiring a physical education/health component for all baccalaureate degrees. I'd say historically, it has been the rule rather than the exception.

I do quibble with (okay, laugh at) what has sometimes passed for phys ed/health at many colleges and universities, and I think Lincoln has gone about it all wrong, but I think a college education is about more than just getting a degree so you can go forth and work. College should be much more than an expensive training school.
