SELECTION OF STUDIES.

Each student is required to attend sixteen recitations a week, or the equivalent thereof, unless excused by vote of the Faculty ; and, in addition, exercises in Composition and Declamation.

In making a selection among the Elective Studies, the following rules are to be regarded:

A student may take Elective Studies assigned to a class below his own, as well as those assigned to his own class; but not those assigned to a class above his own, except by special permission of the Faculty. The election must in all cases be made for the whole year; no changes from one department to another being permitted during the year. Studies must be selected whose hours of recitation do not conflict with each other, as indicated by the tabular statement. The student's selection must in all cases be subject to the approval of the Faculty.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, each student will present to the Secretary of the Faculty, on the first day of the Fall Term, a list of the studies which he desires to take.

EXAMINATIONS.

Examinations, either oral or written, are held in all the studies of the course. The oral examinations are held near the close of the college year, and are conducted before Examining Committees appointed by the Executive Committee of the Trustees. The written examinations are held whenever the respective studies are finished; but the papers are reserved for inspection by the Examining Committees. No student is admitted to examination in any study, unless his standing in that study is above fifty per cent of the maximum.

Special examinations will be held during the third term for those who have been absent, with sufficient reason, from the regular examinations which have occurred in the previous part of the year.

A special examination will be held, in the fortnight following the first Monday of the first term, for those who failed to pass any of the examinations of the preceding year. Students who fail to pass at this examination will be required to attend recitations with the next class in the studies in which they are deficient, and to be examined with that class at the regular time.

A student desiring to take more than the prescribed quota of elective studies may present himself at the special examination, at the beginning of the first term, to be examined in advance in any required study; and, on showing evidence of a high degree of proficiency, he may be excused from recitation in that study.

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

Devotional services are held in the college chapel every morning, and all the students are required to be present.

Public worship is held in the chapel on Sunday afternoon. All the students are required to attend this service, except those who obtain special permission to substitute attendance at some other place of worship. Such permission is readily given to those seeking it on account of denominational preference.
