UNION ACADEMY I3 now admit their holders to many of the best colleges and uni- versities in the country, it follows that the graduates of Union Academy will be received into all such institutions without examination. Colgate, Columbia, Cornell, Elmira, Hamilton, Hobart, Rochester, St. Lawrence, Syracuse, Union, Vassar and the state normal schools may be men- tioned as being among the institutions that receive our graduates without examination or only the examination in English. V DISCIPLINE No conventional set of rules is published for the guid- ance of students. It is the purpose oi the faculty to maintain that discipline in which the best work may be done by stu- dents of the school. Whenever the conduct of any student becomes a detriment to the best interests of the institution and the institution is doing him no good his connection with the school will be severed. RELIGIOUS SERVICES Services are held twice on Sunday in each of the two churches of Belleville, the Baptist and the Methodist Episco- pal, and students are expected to attend church regularly. Service is held from time to time in the Catholic chapel. The Academy is undenominational in its character and aims to inculcate the principles of morality and Christianity in the minds of all students who may come under its influence. RHETORICALS I During the first three quarters, beginning at 2145 o'clock on Friday afternoon of each alternate week, rhetorical exer- cises are held in the chapel.
