CITY COLLEGE.

The trustees and faculty have lately been consd-
erng the question OF abolishing the eight weeks
probation OF the sub-freshman class. IL has been
the custom TO dismiss at the end OF eight weeks
all those students who have failed 20 keep the re-
CURED average OF Go per cent Even though the boys
might pass The entrance examination. II was thought
that this trial OF eight weeks would show whether
their training in the public school had been sum
cienfy thorough TO admit OF their taking higher
studies Some OF the trustees and faculty have
thought this perhaps little severe on the incoming
students who are not used TO college methods and
accordingly have proposed that this time Of trial DO
extended so as TO include the whole sub-freshman
year. Nothing as yet has been definitely decided.
The eight weeks probation OF this year ended on
