GENERAL REGULATIONS.+

REGISTRATION.

Every student of the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes is required to present to the Secretary of the Faculty, on or before the second Wednesday before Commencement, a list of the studies which he proposes to take the next college year. A fee of one dollar shall be paid by each student who fails to present such a list on or before that date. Every student is required to register at the beginning of the first term of each year, at which time changes may be made in the list of studies selected in June. At the same time, members of the Junior class are required to present the list of courses approved by the respective instructors for major studies. A fee of two dollars shall be paid by each student who does not register at the time appointed.

QUOTA OF STUDIES.

The requirement for graduation is sixty hours of work. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors must take not less than fifteen nor more than eighteen hours of work per week, and Seniors not less than thirteen nor more than eighteen hours per week. No student will be allowed to take less than the minimum nor more than the maximum above specified, without special permission of the Administration Committee. A fee of five dollars per hour for the year is charged for all courses taken in excess of eighteen hours per week.

GRADES.

The general character of the work of each student in each study is indicated by his assignment to one of six grades, grade I denoting the highest excellence, and grades 5 and 6, failure to pass. A student in the fifth grade may be allowed another examination in the study, as prescribed in paragraphs 27-29 of the Regulations. A student in the sixth grade cannot be examined again in the study, unless he take it a second

time in the class. A student will not be graduated unless he attains a grade higher than fourth in sixty per cent of his work.* The Secretary of the Faculty sends to each student, within three weeks after Commencement, a report of his grades in all the studies which he has taken during the year.

EXAMINATIONS.

Regular examinations are held at the end of the year, and during a specified period at the mid-year. The allowance of absence from recitations is, in courses running through the year, twice the number of required exercises a week; in courses running through a half-year the allowance is proportionately diminished. A student who has taken the allowed number of absences in any course, exclusive of those excused by the President or by the Committee on Athletic and Musical Organizations, must thereafter present an excuse for every absence taken in that course, and in case he have one unexcused absence or deficiency in addition to the number allowed, he is excluded from examination and must take a special examination later, paying a fee of five dollars. In the application of this rule, absences from the first or the last exercise of a term in any study, or consecutive absences including the first or the last exercise, are each reckoned as two absences. Absences of the same nature before or after the Thanksgiving recess are each reckoned as two absences.

Special written examinations are held during the week commencing with the Tuesday before the beginning of the first term for all who have been absent from any of the examinations of the previous year, or who have received grade five in the same, except those who have been examined and failed to pass at both the regular examination in January and the special examination in the third term.

For the benefit of students deficient in second half-year subjects, special written examinations are held during the first few days after the Christmas recess, at times announced by the Secretary of the Faculty. For these examinations application must be made before the close of the first term. A fee of five dollars is charged for each examination.

* This rule does not apply to the class of 1912, nor to the work of the classes of 1913 and 1914 prior to the beginning of the year 1911-12.

For the benefit of students who have been absent from any of the examinations during the preceding part of the year, or who have received grade five in the same, special written examinations are held during the first few days after the Easter recess, provided that application for such examination is made by the candidate before the close of the second term.

A student who fails to pass a final examination in any study before that study is taken up by the next succeeding class is required, unless specially excused therefrom, to recite with that class, or, in the case of an elective study, to substitute some other elective therefor. If, at the close of the special examinations held at the beginning of the year, a student is deficient by an amount equivalent to six or more hours of work a week for a year, he is ranked with the next lower class, unless specially excused therefrom by the Committee of the Faculty on Administration.

ENTRANCE CONDITIONS.

A student who fails to make up entrance conditions on or before the first day of November of the next college year is excluded from all recitations until the conditions are made up. A fee of five dollars is charged for an examination in entrance conditions after the regular examination for admission at the beginning of the student's second year in college.

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

Devotional services, at which the attendance of students is required, are held in Memorial Chapel every week-day morning, and on Sunday afternoons.

Voluntary religious services under the direction of the Young Men's Christian Association are held weekly.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

A student who desires excuse from college exercises on account of absence from town must apply to the President for permission to be absent, and, unless the circumstances of the case render it impracticable, such permission must be obtained before the student's departure.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.

No member of the Senior or Junior class who is deficient in his college work more than two hours a week for a year, and no member of the Sophomore class who is deficient more than three hours a week for a year, is allowed to take part, as a member of a University athletic team, in any athletic contest, except by special permission; and any student whose college work becomes unsatisfactory at any time during the year may be debarred from taking part in such a contest.

Members of the college musical and dramatic organizations, who are deficient as specified in the preceding paragraph, are not allowed to appear in public performances given by those organizations.

No student under censure is allowed to serve, without permission of the Faculty, in any capacity on an athletic organization or on a musical or dramatic association giving public performances.

No Freshman who has entrance conditions amounting to three points is allowed to represent the college on any athletic, musical, or dramatic organization.

No student is allowed, without special permission of the Committee on Administration, to represent the College in any one year on more than two of the following organizations: football, baseball, basketball, track athletics, tennis, glee club, dramatics; nor on any two of them that are in active operation at the same time.

The approval of the schedules of public performances given by the musical and dramatic organizations is in the hands of committees of the Faculty.

THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL.

In 1903 the Trustees authorized the organization of an Athletic Council, composed of three representatives each of the Faculty, the alumni, and the undergraduates. The Council has general supervision over the athletic affairs of the college, subject to certain veto powers retained by the Faculty. It administers eligibility rules, except as regards scholarship, approves schedules, ratifies the election of captains and managers, and
