At a meeting of the Faculty held on the 15th inst. the By-Laws were modified in the following manner.

Article IV. Section 2. For every absence incurred by a student during a term in any subject, he is required to state the reason within three days to the Secretary of the Executive Council. Frequent or continued absence without satisfactory excuse will be treated, according to the circumstances of the case, by debarment from a subject, by suspension or by removal of the student's name from the rolls of the College.

Section 3. Students late for any College period may. be excluded from the room and marked absent; if admitted, they are to be recorded as late. For such lateness reasons must be presented, as required for absences under section 2.

Section 5. A student who is absent for any cause shall lose his daily term average for each College period in which such absence occurs. Marks lost by absence may, on the recommendation of the Instructor and on endorsement of the Executive Council, be allowed by the Committee on Course and Standing to those students whose term average in the subject is not less than 80%. The resolution relative to debarment for absence during the last two weeks of the term was repealed. Section 2, 3 and 5 of Article 4 will not go into effect until next September. The Resolution relative to absences incurred in the last fortnight, however, goes into effect immediately.

For Samuel Elkins, '01.

An appeal is again made to the students and members of the Faculty in behalf of one of our graduates who was obliged to resign his position as a teacher, as a blindness which had been growing upon him steadily became too acute. Instead of subscribing for periodicals or buying books through the regular channels, you are requested to place your orders with Dr. Neuman, who will convey them to our afflicted alumnis.

Next Fall, the Department of Drawing will offer an advanced course in mechanical drawing.

Talk on Northfield.

Last Thursday afternoon Mr. Roger B. Hull, '07 of Yale and now a student of law at Harvard, gave a very interesting talk on the Northfield Student Conference. Mr. Hull illustrated his address with a number of stereoptican views representing different phases of the annual conventions of college men at Northfield. Mr. Hull's graphic description was in the nature of an eye-opener and a number expressed their intention of representing the College at the next Conference which is to be held in the early part of July.

The Y. M. C. A. takes this opportunity to express its appreciation of Professor Sickles' kindness in granting the use of his lecture room and lantern for the meeting.

The Senior Class has petitioned the Faculty to end its recitations on May 28. Such an arrangement would give the prospective graduates an opportunity to spend a few social weeks with each other at college before parting to go on their several paths in the world. This petition has been ratified by the Student Council.

As a means of financing the projects which the Student council has in view, it was decided to impose a tax of $2.00 per term on each of the eight college classes. This money is to come in the form of appropriations by the class organizations.

Baseball.

T. H. H., 16; Annex, 0.

The ambitions of our young baseball enthusiasts from downtown were somewhat dampened last Saturday at Macomb's Dam Park as a result of their encounter with the regular Townsend Harris team. In spite of the seemingly disastrous score, the youngsters put up a good quality of ball and should make some future stars. "Doc" Newton did the twirling and had a comparatively easy time of it. It was an interesting contest and we should like to see another game arranged.

T. H. H., 5; Poly "Prep.," 9.

On April 22 our nine journeyed to Brooklyn to cross bats with Poly "Prep." With this school's great reputation before our eyes, we looked forward to the contest with not a few qualms. Had it not been for this nervousness our boys might have captured the game. Although the score does not indicate it, our fellows put up a fine specimen of ball; we are rather weak at the bat, but in the field we have a championship team. Risley, Adams, Fleck and Nagle excel in batting and with practice, it is hoped that the rest of the team will brace up a little in the hitting department. Poly played a loose fielding game, seven errors being marked up against them as opposed to three for our men. We won't mention the umpire, or a cry that will "rent the firmament" will arise, "That's what they all say!" Let it suffice to say that the umpire was Poly's coach. Dudensing and Mullen pitched good ball.
