NEW CUT SYSTEM

The perennial problem of a cut system that shall be equitable and possible of administration has again been attacked and a hew system adopted by the faculty. According to this plan scholarship alone will determine the number of cuts which a student may take. Under the old plan the upper classes had a larger allowance, irrespective of scholarship. Beginning next year men of all classes with averages of less than 65 for the preceding semester will be allowed two per course of three exercises a week; .those with an average between 65 and 75 may take three cuts; those between 75 and 85 six cuts; and men above 85 may have an unlimited number as under the old system. Especial provision is made for men in their first semester in College.
