FROM the point of view of the Faculty, the new regulation which requires a student, "when making his choice, or at some time not later than November 1, to designate the courses for which he is to receive credit on the Annual Scale," becomes necessary mainly on account of the action of the students themselves. Extra hours have been taken until the custom has become an abuse, and this has produced confusion everywhere. Then it is thought best for a student to concentrate his mind on the same subjects during the academic year. All courses, including extras, in which the student receives the required per cent will be placed on the rank-list, but extra courses will not be credited on the Annual Scale. All things considered, we cannot find fault with the Faculty for making the new rule. But we hope that all the Professors will adapt themselves to the elective system and voluntary recitations, so that there will be no need of extra courses or a protection against the caprice of the marking-system.
