Believing that the students of the University of Vermont may be trust ed with a greater share in the re sponsibility of their work as regards attendance, the following provisional arrangement, approved by the facul ty. will go into effect at the opening of the second half-year. The suc cess and continuance of this plan will depend in a very large measure on the co-operation of the student body in an earnest effort to make the provisional change a success. CLASS ATTENDANCE. It is assumed that each student will attend regularly the exercises of his college course. It is recognized, however, that'while a faithful stu dent will endeavor to be present at all exercises, sickness and various unexpected obligations may occa sionally prevent him from attending his regular wotk. For a limited number of such occasional absences no excuse need be presented. If at any time an instructor or the attendance committee feels that a student has been absent from a course more than a reasonable amount, the student may be request ed by the committee to explain his case in full. If deemed avisable, he may be required to take an exami nation to prove his fitness to continue in the work of the course, or he may be dropped from the course, or he may be suspended from college, all at the discretion of the committee. For every examination required by the committee a fee of two dollars will be charged. If a student should fail, by reason of non-attendance, to co-operate in the successful working of the above plan, he will be held accountable to the attendance -committee for all future absences. Leave of absence must be ob tained in advance by college organi zations. In gymnasium and military work, students are held responsible for their attendance to the instructors in those courses. To prevent possible misunder standing, it is suggested that stu dents who incur prolonged absence due to sickness notify their instruc tors and the committee to this effect. CHAPEL ATTENDANCE. Students are expected to attend Chapel services as follows : Freshmen, three mornings each week: chemists, agricultural stu dents and division 1 of the engineers on Monday, Wednesday and Fri day ; classical, literary-scientific, division 2 of the engineers, and oth er students, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sophomores, three mornings each week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Juniors, two mornings each week, on Tuesday and Thursday. Seniors, optional. Should a student have no early morning recitation on days assigned for chapel attendance, by conference with the committee, arrangement for attendance on other mornings may be made. Students not in their seats when the bell ceases ringing are marked absent. Should a student fail to comply in general with the above, he may be called to explain his case to the committee who may act at their discretion. —University Cynic.
