COLBY COLLEGE

Much interest was manifested Thurs
day morning when for the first time
in years, the Honor Roll was read at
the usual chapel services. In the past
years. there has been no mention. of
the nigh standing of the students aside
from the various speaking contests and
awards made during the year. But this
year the idea was conceived to have
this Honor Roll on which are found
the names Of the members of the mems
division Of the college who have OBJ
tanned the mark Of A, signifying from
the grade of 80 to 100 in a number of
courses. This distinction is rare one,
for with such standards as Colby is
now maintaining under the most strin-
gent rules, the mark of A is one which
is granted to but few men. There are
but four Seniors who have attained
this high grade of excellence, the num-
Der OF hours of study indicated after
each name: Fred c. English of Rob-
inson, Me-. u; Robert c. Joudry of
Somerville. Mass, Is; Verne Fl. San
