NOVEMBER FACULTY MEETING

The College
on Tuesday,

Faculty will meet at 4:30
November 21, in Frank Strong
Auditorium. The chief item of tusiness
will be the presentation and ¢iscussion
of the report of the Curriculum Committee.
Every member of the facvuity should be
present to consider this vepert which
recommends a number of important changes
in the curriculum.

FOUR-WEEKS' GRADES

For years the freshman-sophomore advisers
and the dean's office have felt that the
midesemester grades came toe lats to help
many students. The Comrittee on the Im-
provement of Teaching recommended last
spring that earlier quizzes be given,
graded, and returned to students so the
latter may know earlier when they were
not doing welle The military services
have required earlier reports, and now
inform us that thev must have monthly
revorts on all veterans, a considerable
vanguard of whom are already with use

In view of the required monthiy reports

on the work of all veterans, rnd in view
of the often-expressed desirability of
having earlier reports on sJ1 our stu-
dents, we have decided that we should call
for a foureweeks' report on all non-
veteran freshmen 2nd sophomores in the
College who are doing unsetisfectory

(D, Inc., or F) work.

The Veterans' Administration requires more
detailed monthly reports. Mr. Axe will
send you two report cards for each veteran.
These are to be filled out monthly and one
of them should be returned to Mr. Axe

and the other to the dean's office in
which the student is enrolled.

Accordingly, please plan to send to this
office by Mondav, December 4, reports on
sophomores who are doing unsatisfactory
work, and also the report on esch veteran.

Mid-semester grades on all students doing
unsatisfactory work are due on Monday,
January 8

We believe it is not unreasonable to ex=
pect the fullest and promptest cooperation
of every instructor in the making of

these reports.

CLASS CARDS

If you have not already done so, please.
sign and return your class cards at once

November 18, 1944

to the office of the dean in which the
student is enrolled.

Be sure you have a class card for each

student. Students without class cards
should not be allowed to remain in the
classe
