The objection which our correspondent of this morning makes against the present system of assuagement of degrees with distinction is not so potent as it appears. The regulations say that one D. obtained at any time throughout the college course, prevents the attainment of a cum laude, only in case the candidate fails to obtain honors or honorable mention. The number of men who would receive a cum laude and not obtain honorable mention in any department is quite small. This is a provision for these men also, for the regulations provide further that individual cases can be decided on their merits by petition to the faculty. We would say that the faculty used proper care when it decided upon the requirements for a degree with distinction.
