MID-SEMESTER GRADES

The grades of all College students whose
work is of "D™ or “F" quality, or Incom=-
plete, are to be reported to the College
Office by Tuesday, April 18.

We are asking for these grades somewhat
earlier than usual because of the
shortened semester, but primarily be~
cause student advisers find it highly

desirable that students who are not doing
well be informed of their status *s early

as possible. A later mid-semester f@rade
4s usually too late to help the student
who is having a@ifficulty with his worke

radio bresdcnast puts in a good word
for a college education (while inci~
