55. Any undergraduate student who is reported as having failed in an examination, or who, after being conditioned, does not pass the reëxamination for the removal of the condition, will be required to repeat every such deficient subject with the class that next takes it; unless, on recommendation of the officer of instruction in charge, the Faculty shall permit him to review a subject in which he is thus deficient with the assistance of an acceptable private tutor; in which case he will be excused from attending the recitations, but will be required to take the regular examinations at the end of the year or half-year.

56A. Deficiencies in military science and physical culture have the same effect as deficiencies in other subjects, except as provided in Sections 17 and 30, above.

57. A matriculation deficiency in a subject continued in the University, in which the deficient student attains a rank of second grade, may be removed by the proper Faculty on the recommendation of the officer of instruction in charge of the subject, with the approval of the head of the department.

DEGREES.

58. Every undergraduate student who intends to become a candidate for a degree must file with the Recorder of the Faculties a detailed schedule of studies offered for the degree sought. This schedule must be filed by regular students at least six calendar months, by all other students at least one full academic year, before the date proposed for graduation, and must be approved by the Committee on Classification of Studies and Degrees of the college in which the student is enrolled.

59. No student will be recommended for a degree until all deficiencies incurred at any time during the course have been finally and satisfactorily removed, and the Recorder's report shows a completely clear record. All examinations of candidates must have been passed prior to the regular meeting of the Faculties appointed for recommending candidates for degrees.

60. Of the one hundred and twenty-four (or more) units required for the bachelor's degree, at least twenty-five units must have been completed at this University.

61. All the graduates of any one calendar year-January 1 to December 31-shall be ranked as belonging to the so-called class of that year.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE AND HONORABLE DISMISSAL.

69. Prolonged leave of absence must be sought by written petition to the proper Faculty, and the petition must specify the length of time (not more than a year) and the reason for which the leave is desired. An indefinite leave of absence will in no case be granted.

70. A student must apply for leave to be absent or excuse for having been absent from any college exercise other than an examination, to the officer of instruction in charge of such exercise; unless, for unavoidable cause, the student is obliged to absent himself from all college exercises for one day or for several days, in which case the Dean will issue a written excuse for leave. Leave to be absent from an examination must be sought by written petition to the proper Faculty.

Students who discontinue their work without formal leave of absence do so at the risk of having their registration privileges curtailed or entirely withdrawn.

71. College class-officers may be allowed, with the approval of the President, to designate committees of students for decorating University halls for public days, and members of such committees may have leave of absence from college duties for not more than one day at a time for such purpose.

72. When any student shall have been continuously absent from his classes for two consecutive weeks, without official leave of absence, the Recorder of the Faculties shall notify his parents or guardian that he will be dropped from the roll of the University should no satisfactory explanation of the absence be forthcoming within two weeks.

73. Honorable dismissal, indicating that the student, while in good standing, has voluntarily severed his connection with the University, should be sought by written petition to the proper Faculty. Without such petition no record of honorable dismissal will be made.

DISCIPLINE.

75. The University authorities expect all students to set and observe among themselves a proper standard of conduct. It is therefore taken for granted that, when a student enters the University, he has an earnest purpose and studious and gentlemanly habits; and this presumption in his favor continues until, by negleet of duty, or ungentlemanly behavior, he reverses it. But if an

offense occurs, whether it be against good behavior or academic duty, the University authorities will take such action as the particular occurrence, judged in the light of the attendant circumstances, may seem to them to require. Students who fail to make proper use of the opportunities freely given to them by the University, must expect to have their privileges curtailed or withdrawn.

76. Grades of Censure. Censure will be expressed in the four grades of probation, suspension, dismissal, and expulsion. Probation indicates that the student is in danger of exclusion from the University. Suspension is exclusion from the University for a definite period. Dismissal is exclusion for an indefinite period, and with the presumption that the student's connection with the University will be ended by it. Expulsion is the highest academic censure, and is final exclusion of the student from the University.

ATHLETICS.

Standing Rule 49. There shall be a standing committee of five on athletics, whose duty it shall be to supervise all matters relating to athletic contests, to promulgate and publish rules for the conduct thereof, and to represent the Academic Council and Faculties in all matters that concern intercollegiate and other sports. This comImittee shall exercise its discretion in the conduct of all minor and routine matters relating to athletics, but on questions of broad University policy it shall report to the Council. The Faculties will exercise such supervision over athletic contests, both intercollegiate and local, and over all matters pertaining thereto, as may appear necessary for the best interests of the University.

HONORS.

81. (1) Each department is authorized to offer annually subjects or topics for independent study and investigation, and to recommend for honors with the bachelor's degree such students as shall have satisfied the requirements for honors.

(2) Honors shall be awarded of two grades: honors and highest honors.

(3) The requirements for honors are normally as follows:

(a) Every candidate for honors must pass, in a manner evincing marked grasp and proficiency, an examination on the subject or topic which he offers for honors, and must present such written papers as may be called for.

(b) Every candidate for honors, in addition to passing the examination for honors, must complete, in a "thoroughly satisfactory" manner fifteen units of Upper Division work in the department from which he desires the recommendation.

(c) Applications for candidacy for honors should be presented as soon as possible after entering the Upper Division. No application will be received later than eight months before graduation.

(4) The Academic Council has established a standing committee of seven members on honors, whose duty it is to report from time to time on matters concerning uniformity of standard and the coordination of the requirements of the several departments.

HONORABLE MENTION.

82. (1) The term "Honorable Mention" shall be placed upon the Junior Certificate of students who have attained at least second grade in forty-five (45) units of their Freshman and Sophomore

courses.

(2) The same term shall be employed in official lists of graduating students in order to designate students that have attained first grade in fifteen (15) units of advanced studies, and at least second grade in twenty-one (21) additional units in the Upper Divisions of the colleges of general culture or of the regular Junior and Senior work in the colleges of applied science.
