T HE HONOR ROL L. 



Announcement is here made of an im- 

 portant action affecting the conditions 

 for attaining a place upon the honor roll 

 of the graduating class, taken by the 

 Board of Trustees at its June meeting, in 

 response to a unanimous recommenda- 

 tion by the Faculty. Hereafter, the 

 membership of the honor roll will not be 

 limited to a definite number, but will be 

 open to all students who can secure a 

 general average of 85 per cent, or more 

 at the final examinations. Under the 

 conditions heretofore existing, a certain 

 numlber of graduates secured this dis- 

 tinction, even though their records 

 might not be such as to justly entitle 

 them to honorable mention provided that 

 they were the class leaders in scholar- 

 ship. It is true that such a contingency 

 has never yet arisen, but it was never- 

 theless entirely possible. On the other 

 hand, students justly entitled to such dis- 

 tinction have failed to secure it merely 

 because a certain number of others had 

 excelled them. By the new arrangement, 

 every student exhibiting the appropriate 

 scholarship will secure full credit there- 

 for. All such students, whatever their 

 number, will be entitled to compete for 

 the Trustees' cash prizes. 



It is of still greater moment that a 

 special gold seal is to be provided, bear- 

 ing the inscription "With Honor" in ad- 

 dition to the ordinary College seal, to be 

 affixed to the diplomas of those entitled 

 to this distinction. 



It is believed that this new arrange- 

 ment cannot fail to do much to stimulate 

 a more general endeavor to attain a 

 higher position in the graduating rec- 

 ords, not only by the individual student, 

 but by the respective classes.
