He is held in strict account by both professor and fellow-students whenever this rule is applied. The Southern student likes it; in fact, he desires it. The system exists in obedience to his own ■demand. He wishes to be put on his honor. The question with him, then, is not what are the rules, and what are the penalties; how many demerits before expulsion; how to beat the professors Editorial.
