By this is meant that an honor point shall be taken away for each E grade received. Included in this special order which was passed by the faculty group was the statement that "it is understood that E grades shall include lapsed in- completes and absences from examin- ation as well as courses dropped with- out legal permission." Another special order was passed to the effect that "students whose work is notably unsatisfactory be asked to withdraw without preliminary warning." Registrar Arthur G. Hall' when questioned concerning the. signi-' ficance of this action explained that in the past the students whose work has been unsatisfactory must have re- ceived warnings or been placed on probation before being asked to with- draw from the University, and with the new rule persons who have poor scholarship records will not necessar- ily have to receive these preliminary warnings before they are asked to withdraw.

No one wants to 1te left out of the Swing Out, but unless your or- der is placed now, your gown will not be delivered in time. Dr. Hall pointed out that this rule is intended to reach those students whoI make almnost total failures and whoI perhaps before have escaped being wartwed, or put on probation. "When students are admitted to the Univer- sity, there shall- be printed on their admission certificates the statement that if their work is notably unsatis- factory they -may be asked to leave' without preliminary warning," said1 Dr. Hall. "In this way they will be informed of the new system on en- trance to the University." In commenting upon the new rule with regard to grades of E, Dr. Hall? said that as before an hour of A will count three honor points, B two honor points, C one point, D none, and with the new system an honor point will be substfacted 'with each hour of E. This rule will go into effect in l February, 1925. Last December a rule was passed to' the effect that the same number of honor points as hours shall be re- quired to graduate and it is thought1 that with these two changes in the marking system the requirements to graduate will be more strict.
