Students, not accommodated in the University, and not residing with their parents in Madison, will lodge and board in town, under such regulations as the Faculty may prescribe. Young pupils not prepared to enter either of the regular University courses, will board in private families, and parents and guardians are particularly requested to make suitable arrangements in this regard, as no supervision on the part of the Faculty can form an adequate substitute for the regular habits of the Faculty. ABSENCE. The importance of punctual and continued attendance of students, from the beginning to the end of each term, cannot be too highly estimated.— The loss of a single day bears unfavorably on the character and the progress of the scholar. The distribution of vacations, and their aggregate length, leave no justification for the encroachment upon term time by further unnecessary absence. It is to be hoped that parents and guardians will concur with the Faculty in refusing leave of absence in ordinary cases. FACULTY. HENRY BARNARD, LL.D., Chancellor.
