In other words, 244 students have been “cinched” out of college, barrad from returning to theil studies, rutblessiy set aside by one stroke of the pen of the recorder, guided by the “faculty firemen.” Not only this, but 183 more studeni®s withdrew without even at- tempting the examinations that slew their feilows, so that the total number of casualties will foot up 413 This is an unprecedented number of etudents to be “cinched.” There have béen many ‘‘cinched” in years gone by, but this record overlaps them all. It is all due to the good old “weeding- ut” process adopted by the faculty, iich is based on the theory that the jaggards must go. Most of the suffer- ers are’freshmen, who could not pass the examinations in mathematics. These examinations are always made unpleasantly hard, and if a freshman can pass them he is considered a pretty good candidate for the rest of his college day If he does not pass, the faculty considers that it has got rid of a student who would have been dead material and a drag for the rest of the time. Notwithstanding the “cinches,” how- ever, the number of students will be nearly as large as last vear, the de- ficiency being made up by new stu- dents.
