MONTHLY CIRCULAR.
At the end of every month a circular letter is addressed by the
Chairman of the Faculty to the parent or guardian of each student,
in which are stated his absences from lectures and examinations, and
any other irregularity of which he may have been guilty, together
with such further information as to the student's progress and conduct
as it may be deemed proper to communicate. The object of
such report being on the one hand to incite the student to steady
diligence by eliciting the commendation and encouragement of his
friends, and on the other to restrain him from idleness and disorder,
or to urge him to amendment by their admonition and advice, the
usefulness of these circulars greatly depends upon the prompt and
judicious attention they receive from those to whom they are addressed.
Parents and guardians therefore cannot be too earnest in
communicating such advice or encouragement as the monthly report
may suggest.
