...professors have from 8 to 13 hours a week of recitations or lectures. This does not look very large, but it must be remembered that much additional work is entailed in the preparation of work, that the marking system and the examination system as at present used require much extra labor, and that if the instructor has a taste for "one-hours" he may have five or six hundred blue books to examine every year.

This is that hereafter men must definitively settle by November 1 what courses they intend to pursue as electives during the year. No extra hours beyond one (which is allowed to provide for the difficulty of choosing exactly twelve or exactly fourteen hours) will be counted on the general scale as hours of electives, unless they are put down on the list of electives, or unless notice of taking them regularly is given before the date mentioned...
