At a recent meeting of the Faculty a committee consisting of President Roberts,
Dr. Taylor, Professor Hedman, Dr. Parmenter, and Mr. Chipman, was appointed to
draw up and submit to the Faculty a new set of Administrative Rules. The
present rules were adopted some years ago before the present semester system
had come into existence as well as at a time when the student body numbered
considerably less than at present. These two conditions have made it imperative
that the rules receive a thorough overhauling with a view to meeting more
satisfactorily the present day needs. When finally adopted the rules will be
printed in pamphlet form and distributed to each member of the student body.Professor Clarence H. White represented the college at the twenty-sixth annual
