A comparison of the scholarship records of the first semester of the class of 1924 with the class of 1923 last year, shows that considerably fewer students were this year subjected to college discipline for failure in studies. Professor E. G. Bill, freshman class officer, states that in his opinion this record is due largely to the fact that the annual fraternity "rushing season" was postponed until the second semester of the College year.
The number of freshmen separated from College at the end of the first semester this year was 36 in comparison with 57 last year. This year, also, but 49 freshmen were placed on probation for failure in studies where last year the number was 64.
