...overriding the rules in regard to anticipation. Rhetoric is such an easy subject, and the instruction is so unpopular, that if anticipation were allowed as freely as the Regulations intend, the number on the rolls of the Rhetoric sections would fall to as low a figure as the actual attendance on the course counts at present.

When the College shall have secured the services...
