General Regulations. TUDENTS are expected to attend punctually all oflicially appointed exercises, especially breakfast, Gymnasium classes and evening lecturesf The President and Dean exercise a general supervision over everything-coming under their observation. All other matters are obliged to get along by themselves. Societies and associations of admiration and affection among the students may be formed only with the approval of the President and faculty. The constitution setting forth the object and by- laws, giving the hours, also the character of the meetings or en- tertainments Qcandy, flowers, dinners etc.,j regular or occasional, must meet the approval of the Dean. Any such society or asso- ciation may be disbanded entirely when members express a de- sire for new ones or when the general interests of the college seem to require it. Hcademic Work. Those students who offer at entrance the maximum require- ments in all subjects are caused to labor unceasingly and without praise or sympathy. Conditioned students are carefully cared for, are fed appetiz- ing dainties, are petted and complimented both in and out of the class room. Those students who at entrance are able to converse fluently in Greek with the President and his son are not required to elect any modern language during their college course. Any student passing successfully her 'first examination in Math. I. is liable to insult. A comfortable student life is not to be attained unto in that manner. Any student in Math. I. who fails to pass the nth examination in both Geometry and Algebra will not be allowed to take Trigonometry, the class tends to increase so rapidly that some such restriction must be enforced. When the mental state of a student seems to require a second examina- tion the following times are suggested. In the week immediate- ly following the regular examinations when the mind is particu- larly clear and active, in the September examination period when -JG that students will observe it. This rule looks well, that is its excuse for beingg it is not even hoped 132

hours guests may be noisily entertained in the library, at other times comfortable seats may be found on the walk leading up to the college. There is no need for care to be exercised in the use of matches, as any attempt to use them for setting ire to the college build- ings will be promptly met by the Bucket Brigade. The use of firearms however, is deprecated by the Dean. Large waste baskets are provided on every Hoor and rubbish of all kinds such as class presidents, toast mistresses etc., may be deposited in them. Under no circumstances must such rubbish be thrown from doors or windows or scattered anywhere about the grounds. 4 Lxibrarg and Reading Room. The Library is to be used for the purpose of ascertaining what books are not there, and during the winter term seats at the tables will be used for the enjoyment of piano recitals taking place on the floor below. Books for historical reference alone may be written in, marked, or otherwise defaced or injured, and only when the required ref- erence for Mediaeval History exceeds 600 pages per day may the pages be torn out and swallowed. 134
