Failure Of the plan Is confessed, as

passes satisfactory examination on a
certain subject, he will receive promo

promoted to a higher classification re-

scholarship in other subjects.
Students will be required to make
grades of Is per cent in all subjects.
They also must elect four major studiea,
but to fail, or "funk,' in any two of
these will not prevent their promotion
in subjects which they successfully
