A good many men have been summoned recently on account of cuts taken last year. This seems quite a useless thing. If the records show that a man has been absent from too many of his recitations, the faculty have the power to demand better attendance of him at the time; and why they do not do this, but wait until many months have passed, is a matter hard to understand. If their aim is to exact a more faithful attendance, surely it is easy to notify a man of the fact before he has completed the year in what is deemed an objectionable manner. Visting the sins of last year on the good intentions of this by a warning is obviously not altogether as useful a scheme as a notification last year would have been. If the faculty would only take the proverbial stitch in time, it would save the student the oss of taking the other nine.
