Attendance is required at nine-tenths of all the exercises in each branch of study at Amherst, and when the limit is surpassed the student is notified officially by the registrar of the college. If any more cuts are taken after notification, the student goes before the president of the college and is reprimanded. A student may save all his cuts till the end of the year and thus add about a week to his summer vacation...
...first place, the number and kind of athletic contests of all sorts are regulated in advance by the faculty's committee on athletics. If the faculty decide that it is best to have but fifteen intercollegiate contests in a year, they can limit them to that number. The present number is such as the faculty consider consistent with the performance of other college duties.

It appears to us that for the vast majority of college men, the 'modest" limit is much below this. Taking the discussion as it now stands, we fail to see that the statements in Professor Palmer's speech can be set aside or mistaken. The data from which Professor Palmer drew his conclusions were obtained more systematically than those given in the Monthly. If they...
