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 irregularities 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, or as the parent or guardian may especially request. The object of such reports
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, their usefulness
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 or prompt in
communicating such advice or encouragement as the monthly reports may suggest.
