The following note taken by the faculty is of interest: The faculty, wishing to encourage vacation study, authorizes any instructor to announce to his class at some time during May a course of reading or investigation suitable to be pursued privately during the summer vacation.
Every such course shall be calculated to occupy a student of ordinary ability not more than six hours a day during a single month.
The faculty wishes it to be understood that vacation study is in no way cumpulsory: that it will receive no marks: that it will have no influence on the assignment of scholarships: and that it will not lessen the number of courses required for a degree.
The faculty recommends that, in departments in which these constitute a part of the work for final honors, the subjects for such theses be decided, as far as practicable, before the close of the junior year.
