its purpose is to provide proper leadership among the young women of the University.

PUBLICATIONS

Two periodicals are issued by the students of the University. The Cynic appears weekly, while The Ariel is the Junior annual publication. The U. V. M. Notes is issued monthly by the University, the summer vacation period excepted, for the benefit of the alumni.

REGULATIONS

The general principle governing the conduct of the students is set forth in the following ancient and frequently reenacted law of the University:

"The conduct of the students toward all men is to be regulated by those plain rules of politeness, honor and religion which are binding on every free and virtuous community. They are to conform to every requirement of the Faculties, which may arise from their relations as instructors, counselors and guardians, and as upright men and good citizens they shall use all lawful exertions to prevent and to expose all violations of the laws of God and of the country, and whatever is at variance with the objects of the University."

A booklet giving the regulations of the University may be obtained at the Comptroller's office.

ADMISSION

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Candidates for admission to the University must be at least sixteen years of age and must present certificates of good character and satisfactory prepartion to undertake college work. Women are admitted to all courses (except in the College of Medicine) under the same conditions as men.

Admission blanks, which may be obtained from the Registrar of the University, must be filled out and signed by the principal of the school which the applicant has attended. Incorporated in the blank is a certificate of good moral character.

If a student is entering the University by transfer from another college, a full statement of entrance and college credits must be presented, together with a letter of honorable dismissal.

All certificates and credentials should be sent to the Registrar of the University, if possible before September fifteenth.

Fourteen and one-half units are required for admission to full undergraduate standing, each unit representing a full year's work in a subject with daily recitations.

ENROLLMENT

the Registrar.

For one week after enrollment change of studies must be approved by the enrolling officer. Afterward, no changes will be allowed except such as are sanctioned by the Faculty of the college in which the student is enrolled. Instructors are glad to advise students at any time concerning choice of studies.

No student will be matriculated formally unless he has satisfied all entrance requirements and has completed all the work of the first half-year without conditions.

METHODS OF ADMISSION

Candidates are admitted to the undergraduate departments either by certificate or by examination.

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE

Graduates of schools accredited by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board are admitted without condition or examination, provided the preparatory work covers the full requirements of the course which the applicant expects to enter and provided the work is of such quality as to justify the principal in granting a complete certificate. The certificate must be made out on a blank form, which will be sent by the Registrar upon request of the principal of the high school or academy from which the applicant has been graduated; or in case more than one school has been attended by the applicant, to the principal of each school. Examination is required in subjects not specifically certified by the principal. Students admitted on certificate are regarded as being on probation for the first half-year.

Schools wishing to secure the approval of the New England College Entrance Certificate Board should apply to Professor Frank W. Nicolson, Middletown, Conn., before April first of the year in which approval is desired. Graduates of any school in New England which lacks the approval of the Board can gain admission only by examination. The certificate privilege may be granted by the University to any school not in New England, if the school is accredited in its own locality.

The diploma of the New York Regents with credit cards covering the subjects necessary for entrance will be accepted for admission on probation for the first half-year.

A candidate who has failed to pass the required examinations for admission to this or to any other college will not be admitted by certificate unless he has had one full year's work at an accredited school since the time of failure.

Certificate statements of secondary schools are not accepted in lieu of scheduled courses in the University.
