STUDENT SELF-GOVERNMENT During the past eleven years the College has develcped, Faculty and students coöperating, a system of student self-government. In 1893-94, special joint committees of Faculty and students, with equal representation of both bodies, were formed as cases for discipline arose. In 1894-95, the Faculty and the students instituted a standing joint committee for the year, consisting of the President of the College, two professors, two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore and one freshman. In 1895-96, a standing committee of students only was formed, having the President as presiding officer, with no vote save in case of a tie. This board consisted of four seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen, chosen by their respective classes. In 1896-97, the Faculty, acting upon suggestions made by the student board, formulated a constitution, which was accepted for the year by the Trustees of the College and by the students. This constitution has been continued, under the approval of the Trustees. At the present time the Dean is the presiding officer. The names of the members of the student board will be found on page 20. A resolution of the Faculty of 28th September, 1896, states: "This experience has confirmed the Faculty's trust in the honor and good judgment of our students, its belief in their capacity for self-government, and in the value of the system as a part of their education in citizenship." REGULATIONS Morning prayers are attended in the College Chapel each morning, except Saturday and Sunday, at 8.40 o'clock. A Bible class, attendance at which is voluntary, is held Sunday morning in the College Chapel at 10 o'clock. A sermon is preached every Sunday morning in the College Chapel at 11 o'clock. Students are required to be present. They are expected, also, to attend public worship in the afternoon or evening, at such place as their parents or guardians may direct. Excuse for every absence from College duties must be presented to the Registrar. Unexcused absences are reported to the Faculty; and a student is not allowed to make up the recitations omitted, but receives zero as a mark. Recitations, except in elective subjects, are marked on a scale of 100, and the average standing of each student is made up at the end of each term, and sent to his parent or guardian. A mark at examination counts as much as one-third of the term's work up to the time of examination. If the grade for the term's work previous to the examination, in any subject, fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, the student will be conditioned in that subject. If the grade in an examination in any subject fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, the student fails to pass the examination. If the grade of any student in any study at any time fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, his case will be acted on as the Faculty shall deem necessary. If any student's average grade in any term fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, he will lose his standing in his class and be required to fall back a year in the course, unless all his deficiencies shall be removed before the opening of the next term. In elective courses the only official statement of work done is the announcement at the end of each term in each student's report, that he has passed "high," "medium" or "low," or has "failed." The marks given in elective work are not made public and do not enter into the ordinary computation of grade. They serve only for the guidance of the professors concerned, and of the Faculty in determining the class honors at graduation. If any student shall be found notably deficient in his daily recitations or at the examination, in any of his studies, his case will be reported to the Faculty, and such action by way of discipline will be taken as may be deemed necessary. No student can be promoted to an advanced class until all his deficiencies are made up. If he fail to make up all his deficiencies before the opening of the College year, he will cease to be a member of his class; if he fail to make them up within two weeks after the opening of the College year, he will not be reinstated in his class, but will be required to fall back a year in the course. Examinations for making up such deficiencies are held at IO A. M. on the Monday and Tuesday before the opening of the College year, in September. The Faculty are empowered to pass such regulations relative to the number of boarders in each house as they think proper; and students shall board only at such places as are approved by them.
