CLASS HONORS. The following regulations have been adopted by the Board of Trustees regarding the graduating exercises at Commencement : 1. There shall be three scholarship honors in each section of the Graduating Class, awarded to those students who shall stand first, second and third respectively, in all the required studies of the Classical or Scientific curriculum, provided that in each individual case the student so standing shall rank among the first four in the major subject or subjects of his elective course. A failure on the part of any candidate to fulfill this condition will render the student standing next in grade of general scholarship eligible, subject to the same condition regarding the elective course. 2. There shall be no distinction by way of comparison between the scholarship honors of the Classical School and those of the Scientific School. 3. The three scholarship honors of each School shall be designated as follows: CLASSICAL SCHOOL. SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL. First Honor-Philosophical Oration. First Honor-Scientific Oration. Second Honor. Third Honor. Second Honor. 4. An oration to be known as the Rhetorical Honor shall be awarded to that member of either section of the class of those ranking in general grade of scholarship among the first half of his class in all the required studies of the Classical or Scientific curriculum, who shall have received the highest grade in Composition and Elocution during the Junior and Senior years. A student may receive any one of the three Scholarship Honors and the Rhetorical Honor, but he shall deliver only one oration at Commencement. 5. Two other orations shall be awarded as follows: From a list which shall include those students from both sections of the class who stand in the first half in grade of scholarship in all the required studies of the course, and which shall exclude those who have received Scholarship Honors or the Rhetorical Honor, the two students having the highest grade in Composition and Elocution during the Junior and Senior years shall be chosen as orators. SPECIAL HONORS. Department or Individual Honors may be granted in each elective subject. Of these there are two in each Classical course, and one in each Scientific course. Such an honor will be granted to that student who stands highest in the particular elective subject, on two conditions: 1. Provided that he stand in the first third of the Classical or Scientific Section of his class in the required studies of his course; and, 2. Provided that he be recommended to receive that honor by the Professor or Professors who have instructed him in the elective subject or subjects. Competition for individual or department honors shall begin where the courses begin to diverge, i. e., with the first term, Junior year, in the Classical School, and with the first term, Sophomore year, in the Scientific School. DEGREES AND POST-GRADUATE STUDIES. The Faculty will recommend for the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science candidates otherwise properly qualified, who, after taking the appropriate Bachelor's degree 1. Shall pursue for at least one year at Rutgers College a course of liberal and non-professional study, approved by the Faculty, and shall, beside the term examinations, pass a thorough examination on that course and present a thesis on some topic connected with it; or, 2. Who, not less than three years after taking the Bachelor's degree, at Rutgers College, shall make application for the Master's degree, presenting at the same time a certificate of graduation from a Theological Seminary, a Law School or a Medical School, or of admission to the practice of Law or Medicine; or, 3. Satisfactory evidence by a thesis (which must be presented to the Faculty at least one month before Commencement) or other proof of successful labor in education or literature pursued during three consecutive years and of advanced studies prosecuted; or, 4. In case of Bachelor of Science, satisfactory evidence of successful professional work actually done and advanced professional studies prosecuted. The degrees of Ph.D. and Sc.D. may be conferred upon resident graduates of the College who shall pursue for two years prescribed courses of study under the direction of the Faculty. The conditions will be made known on application. The degree of Civil Engineer is a professional one, and is, on application, conferred upon graduates of the College who have taken the degree of Bachelor of Science, and subsequently have passed three years in the practice and study of engineering, with results satisfactory to the Faculty. The applicant is required to furnish a statement of the work upon which he has been engaged, and to present a thesis or discussion of some engineering work which he has done. The application and thesis must be presented to the Secretary of the Faculty at least one month before Commencement. REGULATIONS. Morning prayers are attended in the College Chapel each morning, except Saturday and Sunday, at 8:40 o'clock. A Bible class, attendance at which is voluntary, is held Sunday morning in the College Chapel at 10 o'clock. A sermon is preached every Sunday morning in the College Chapel at 11 o'clock. Students are required to be present. They are expected, also, to attend public worship in the afternoon or evening, at such place as their parents or guardians may direct. No student is allowed to leave the city during term time without permission from the President or the Registrar. Excuses for absence from all College duties must be obtained from the Registrar. Unexcused absences are reported to the Faculty; and a student is not allowed to make up the recitations omitted, but receives zero as a mark. Recitations, except in Elective subjects, are marked on a scale of 100, and the average standing of each student is made up at the end of each term, and sent to his parent or guardian. A mark at exam ination counts as much as one-third of the term's work up to the time of examination. If the grade for the term's work previous to the examination, in any subject, fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, the student will be conditioned in that subject. If the grade of any student in any study at any time fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, his case will be acted on as the Faculty shall deem necessary. If any student's average grade in any term fall below 60 per centum of the maximum, he will lose his standing in his class, and be required to fall back a year in the course, unless all his deficiencies shall be removed before the opening of the next term. In Elective courses the only official statement of work done is the announcement, at the end of each term, in each student's report, that he has "passed," or "passed with honor," or "failed." The marks given in elective work are not made public, and do not enter into the ordinary computation of grade. They serve only for the guidance of the Professors concerned and of the Faculty in determining the Scholarship honors at graduation. If any student shall be found notably deficient in his daily recitations, or at the examination in any of his studies, his case shall be reported to the Faculty, and such action by way of discipline will be taken as may be deemed necessary. No student can be promoted to an advanced class until all his deficiencies are made up; and if he fail to make up all his deficiencies before the opening of the College year, he will cease to be a member of his class. Examinations for making up such deficiencies are held at 10 A. M. on the Tuesday before the opening of the Session in September. The Faculty are empowered to pass such regulations relative to the number of boarders in each house as they think proper; and students shall board only at such places as are approved by them.
