Last week Thursday law, passed
iu the absence q the President, WAS
made known to the students Of the
College. declaring that every absence
from any recitation. from whatever
cause, whether excused or unexcused
should count as zero IN the record Of
standing; except that IN cases whore
I the attendance shall be shown by the
student TO have been impossible, each
Professor shall have the option Of al
lowing the recitation to be made up at
such time as he shall appoint
This law was universally regarded by
the students az unjust Ii would dis
hearten the unfortunate and leave dill
gence IN private study while one is
necessarily absent, unrewarded; it
would give the honors Of the class, not
TO him who had worked the hardest
and studied the most but, because this
one had stern difficulties to ovecomo,
.it would confer them upon him who
might have tho most bodily strength or
the richest parent to back him. And
above all il struck at personal manhood
and honor in regarding man guilty
until he prove himself innocent
