WE wish to suggest to certain instructors that recitations are voluntary. Those gentlemen seem to ignore this fact when they mark students who are constant in attendance at recitations with greater leniency than those who are frequently absent. If the Faculty has seen fit to make a rule which gives us voluntary recitations, professors have no right to take an independent position and to state that men will find it advantageous not to cut. Provided a man write an accurate examination-paper, it is decidedly unfair to take absences into consideration in making up the marks of any elective. In addition, a professor lowers himself who attempts by threats to prevent a man from cutting. We trust that we shall have no further ground for complaint, as this treatment of students serves to put them once more on the footing of children.
