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.
