the statement, a- we recall it, of our
PREXY in which he decluivd, 'It is

mendier of the faculty, shall feel per-
fectly fn>*' to come to me at any time,
with any matter which lie feel that

accept the one apology as recoinpen e

TRODDEN STUDENT, our .,ue imn*
were a ked for the -ole pur|>ose of
i fti ring information concerning
Hung which we do not fully under
land; and may it lie -aid to Hie honor
of Hu college, that it- purpose in
the Acid of education is to train young
men and young women to do well, the
thing we tried to do, which was to
think, to investigate, to judge, and to
utilize or if neci - ary to reject every
thing that pre cuts it-elf for nur run
idcraUon. Shall we -ay that Luther,
Milton, and Wilson were frivolous,
liecause H , objected, to the fulle-t
extent, toe dictate of Custom, and
• >en governments, to thi- tme tan
dard? We -ay NO' and that (Mister

AD DOWNTRODDEN STUDENT, we
feel that tho-e of us who ron-rienti
ou-ly a ked i|iii'-tion concerning the
meaning of thn-e thing whirh you
make fun of u- for investigating, are
ju t a eriou a you yourself an-,
and we wi-li to us-ure you that we
willingly rep*irt on time for regi-tra
lion, and have never cut a rla- un-
li it wa nece ary. We are coining
to college to attend cla -e , and not to
rut, or dodge them.
Yes, we are doing credit work in
tin in-Htution, hut EMPHATICALLY
we don not want rredit,- that an- not
earned, any more than do we wish to
pond our time in an institution
v here law and nriler do mit prevail.
We do not a-k that rule lie entirely
ra.ifelled, and that we tie given ereilit
for work whirh we would have liked
to have done, whether we did it or
not Ju-t to make our attitude con-
cerning th*' matter |ierfectly clear, we
will state that we would not subscntie
to any form of regulation for this col
lege, whirh would il«*ny to our
PREXY hi* rightful power of final
deri-ion in every case whatsoever.
Perhaps we should state exactly
what it i* that we do not understand
and whirh we ask uuestions about It
i a- follows: We ito not understand
why a tardiness -hould count a* an
absence when conditions, such as time,
clock-, distance, etc. are such that
the tudent, a- well as the instructor,
cannot report exactly on the second,
in every ra.-e, regardless of hi* per-
>>nal choice in the matter We recog-
nize that it was the abuse, hy some of
the -tuilenl , of the liberal three cut
rule (the cuts to l»> used only when
actually neeiled.l which necessitated
an uttempt on the part of the official*

Lven yet, we do not -ee why, that if
a student should chance to report for

taxed two third- of three |>er cent re

minutes of the imthhI in eonscientiou-

hy ILLNESS Sincerely, Mr. DOWN
TRODDEN STUDENT, we cannot -ee
why we hould lie jeered at with such
an exalted exclamation a- "Oh, ju.-t
tic*', the crime that have been done
in thy name!" Iiecau-e we cannot ee
perliap- the ame degree of ju-tice, in
(ilacing iicli an enorniou- premium on
mere cla iittendance, when w«* can

When we make up the mi*-ei| work,

greater achievement of the two. More
over, we wonder how it i - possible for
anyone to make a enur e hy corn's

THEM EN I >( >1 ’S significance,
It wa- our de-ire to understand the
above mentioned |*nnt~ that caused us
to con nler and investigate th*' thing-

effort to to|i the uhu-e of a lilieral

work an injustice on anyone, any
more than do we l*'lieve that those of
us who seriously considered it linn
asked ipiestions about it, should la*
used as subject matter for a fercical
treatment like "A PROTESTATION.”
So. seriously, Mr. DOWNTROD-
