RECITATIONS AT TUFTS.

The plan in relation to attendance at recitations adopted by the faculty of Tufts College is as follows: Hereafter the faculty will receive no petitions offering excuse for absences. In making up the rank of students all absences from recitations will count zero, except in cases of prolonged absence occasioned by illness or other extraordinary cause, in which case such loss may be made up by private examinations. In other cases the rank of each student will be determined wholly by the work done at the regular recitations of his class. Any student who fails to attain a rank of 50 per cent. by reason of absence from recitations, except in cases of prolonged absence as above mentioned, can make up such deficiency only by reciting with a lower class.
