TOLLEGE CIRCIrLAR-


!hose who are appointed TO direct4he education
ana conduct OF youth assembled at public insti-
tuition, must feel degree of responsibility 10 the
parents aud guardians OF those committed 10 their
care. Parents and guardians are themselves nat
uraliy anxious TO know the character and prof.
cheney OF their and wards. II is also iniport
ant, that parental affection aud authority, which
governed the child at home, should not be forgot
ten when he Is removed to College, but cherished
as me most honorable motive 20 industry and virtue
These considerations induce the Faculty 10
transmit at the close OF each session. a correct
and impartial statement of the conduct and prof
cheney OF each student. In attempting to do ex-
ACT justice, they may, however, fail 10 some in
stances; but 1t will ever give them pleasure 10
correct, Ia subsequent communication, any mis-
lake. they believe, however, that there is more
liability to err, especially in the article of beba-
vour, on the favorable side.
II IS important to remark, that the character oF a
student often changes during his continuance al
college, Some, who begin well, end ILL; but
iargeT number, VINO were once culpable reform,
ano reacn the highest standing. III parents, then
observe that their sons are doing wen, their An,
probation and advice may preserve them in we'll
doing. IL deficiencies or faults are noted. the
youth should be exhorted and encouraged 10 re-
pair them. To reform is perfectly practicable.
and often occurs II diligence in study has been
greater than success, no fault il attributed the
youth Is unfortunate, not blameable.
mat no obscurity may rest on the following re-
port, II may be mentioned, that No. /, No. 2, and
NO 3, in scholarship, denote SO many degrees Of
merit-not comparative, but absolute l. e. the
brs' m ms class may not reach the assumed stand
ard oil excellence, but be marked No 2, thorrh
no one has higher grade. No 1, denotes high
degree Of merit; No. 2, a medium share Of merit
and No.3 standing lower than the medium.
when student is distinguished 10 either of these
grades, the word distinguished is added to the
number. And as distinctions in the article Of
scholarship are themselves various, this variety is
also marked: thus, if student Is marked No. I
distinguished % ho is considered as ho!iino y
highest standing Ii ne IS marked 40. 4, distin-
guished ~ he holds degree less eminent; and
thousn NO. l, marks more than a medium stand
ing, yet not so high as No. ], distinguished ~
In the articles Of behaviour and industry, No.
~ denotes an exemption from censure; Nos 2 and

conduct Of the student has been exemplary in Ell
ther OF these articles, he is marked No L, disin-
