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 specially 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 in communicating
such advice or encouragement as the monthly reports may
suggest.
