Professor Herbert W. Smyth '78, who became acting dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the beginning of the College year, owing to the illness of the late Dean Wright, will continue in this office throughout the remainder of the year.

...recess, fails to register at the time set for that purpose, may be required to pay to the Bursar a fee of $5 before being permitted to register. Payment of this fee does not preclude action by either of the administrative boards in the cases of students who register late.

Absence from Cambridge is no excuse for delay in handing in written work...
