ATTENDANCE at recitations and at exercises in Themes and Forensics will be voluntary for the present Juniors on the following conditions: 1. Juniors who did not attain seventy per cent on the work of Sophomore year will lose their privilege, if they abuse it. 2. 267 censure-marks will lead to suspension, and 200 to special probation. These numbers will be reduced by one third for students already on special probation, and by one fourth for those excused from prayers for the year; a proportional reduction will be made for those excused for a part of the year. 3. Juniors...

...exchanging the badly ventilated recitation-room for its own luxurious apartment, redolent with the aroma of the cigarette, and has been reckoning on its degree as a perfectly "cold thing," has been brought suddenly to a sense of its duties and dangers, by the announcement that 50 per cent on the year's work will be required for admission to the Senior class, and that two hundred censure-marks, instead of three hundred, will incur special probation.

WHILE we unite with the Advocate in rejoicing that the system of voluntary recitations is to be thoroughly tested next year, we are not equally doubtful of the success of that system.

...Professor in this department complacently announces that it is his intention to reduce every mark obtained at that examination from ten to fifteen per cent. Without considering the question of whether the marks were too high it seems to me a most unwarranted proceeding to reduce them at this late date. The injustice of this measure is so evident, as was shown in the Advocate, that it is strange that the Faculty should allow it. If a Professor is to have the power of reducing marks six months after they have been announced, and when it is too late...
