THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Attendance Rules.
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

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

committee who may act at their
discretion. —University Cynic.
