The petition which was circulated last
week and signed by a majority of the
students has been granted. The paper
asked for two days holiday on April 6
and Z. Considering the fact that the
catalogue provided for no vacation b.
tween Wasiiington's birthday and the
end of school and that April conference
brings with it many friends and at
fractions that interrupt the spirit Of
school work, the faculty thought best
to grant the petition of the students.
As a. consequence here will be no school
at the university next Thursday and
Friday.

1t has been the custom of the faculty
to announce to members of the gradual
ing class their success or failure only
a few days before the commencement
exercises Almost every class that has
been graduated for years past has
ei9AAOA1 OilS LcCuAly lIldL their
be reported to them at an earlier date.
This request of the students has been
repeatedly refused, because the faculty
felt that unless each member of the
graduating class asked that his stand
ing be publicly posted, an injustice
would be done to those who have NOT
wished their record made public This
year the members of the class of '99
made the same request. Last Monday at
faculty meeting four of the class MEM
bers, Messrs. FerrOn, Young. Mckay
and CART, appeared in behalf of the
class and asked that the list of gradu-
ates be posted at least two weeks be-
fore commencement day. They gave
their reasons in a. concise and manly
way, asking especially that considera-
ton be given to the great nervous strain
under which so many of the students
await the final result. After mature
elaboration the faculty decided that
the standing of each student who ex-
poets to be graduated should be re-
ported to him privately by the prese-
dent at least two weeks before the day
of commencement exercises. In report
ing to the students in this way, the
students, will be relieved of their ner-
vouS strain and still no injustice will
be done to any member of the gradu-
ating class.
