The former standing Committee on the Excuse of Laboring Students was abolished on the 6th of October, 1905, and a new committee consisting of the Dean, the Commandant, and the Professor of Physical Culture (with the addition for the cases of women of the Instructor in the Sage College gymnasium) was created to deal with all petitions for such excuses. An important change was made during the year in the regulations concerning final examinations. For many years a definite period known as block-week has been set aside at the end of each term for final examinations, and during this period no other University exercises have been allowed. At the Faculty meeting of November 3d, 1905, the Faculty of the Sibley College of Mechanical Engineering requested permission to continue the work of instruction in that college throughout the time now devoted to examinations, that is to say during the block-week. This request was referred to the Committee on University Policy with instructions to report at a special meeting of the University Faculty to be called by the President. The Committee on University Policy considered the matter and recommended that the request of Sibley College be granted subject to the following qualifications. I. That students of Sibley College be excused from work there when it conflicts with block-week examinations elsewhere; (2) that students in other colleges taking instruction in Sibley College be excused from attendance there during block-week unless otherwise directed by their Dean; (3) that no other college or department be required to furnish instruction to students of Sibley College during the examination period, but any college or department may do so if agreeable to it. |
