THE usually steady Junior class are said to be cutting recitations to such an extent as to seriously alarm the Faculty. The cause of this delinquency is the feeling which finds a vent in the remark, What is the good of having voluntary recitations if we do not use them? Using voluntary recitations, however, does not consist in cutting unnecessarily; that is abuse. The privilege is given us in order that we may judge for ourselves when it is necessary to absent ourselves, and we certainly ought to be capable of judging. But if we do not follow the dictates of our judgment, and cut for the sake of pleasure, we abuse the privilege, and make it necessary for the Faculty to limit the privilege by some such regulations as have been recently passed. For all such regulations, we, and not the Faculty, are responsible.
