7. Third-year students who fail in the oral examination in October, 1915, may be permitted to take a written examination before being placed on probation.
And now the old oral examination itself is losing much of its arbitrariness. The student who is fairly proficient in both French and German, yet brilliant in neither, may try both languages. And with this granting of two chances vanish the conventional complaints of the unreasonableness of a single passage...
Any student failing to hand in this list will be in serious danger of being placed on probation.
In addition a motion was passed that more frequent opportunities for taking orals be given those who are on probation on that account.
Probation now means something; it is a real disgrace under the new system; it is no longer a joke. This is one of the first benefits of the changed regulation.
