cises must be obtained in advance from the general excusing 

 officer, or from the president. In such cases the officer ex- 

 cusinof will furnish a certificate of excuse, which shall state 

 the precise time for which absence is permitted, and which 

 shall be a satisfactory reason for absence from all exercises 

 occurring within the time specified. 



IV. — Excuses for all absences, whether with permission 

 obtained beforehand or not, must be submitted to the ex- 

 cusing committee. They must be rendered prompt!}^ within 

 one week from the date of absence, and those deemed unsat- 

 isfactory will be returned to the student with the indorse- 

 ment of the committee. 



V. — Whenever the aggregate number of unexcused ab- 

 sences in all departments reaches five, the student so delin- 

 quent shall be informed of the fact; when the number of 

 such absences reaches eight, the parent or guardian of the 

 student shall be informed of his delinquency ; and, when ten 

 such delinquencies are justly recorded against any student, 

 his connection with the college may be terminated. 



VI. — Students are forbidden to absent themselves with- 

 out excuse from the regular examinations, to give up any 

 study without permission from the president, or to remove 

 from one room to another without authority from the officer 

 in charge of the dormitory buildings ; and no student shall 

 be permitted to make such change until he has procured 

 from the inspecting officer a written statement that the room 

 about to be vacated is in perfect order. 



VII. — Students shall be required to attend the church of. 

 their selection regularly on Sunday morning, and report in 

 writing to the excusing officer, during the ensuing week, 

 whether they attended or not.

 tendance, will be carefully kept ; and, whenever the average 

 rank of a student falls below fifty, he will not be allowed 

 to remain a member of the college, except b}- a special vote 

 of the faculty. Admission to the college, and promotion 

 from class to class, as well as to graduation, are granted 

 only by vote of the faculty. 



IX. — Students are required to abstain from any thing 

 injurious to the buildings and other property of the college, 

 and in all respects to conduct themselves with propriety.
