GENERAL INFORMATION 13 young women who have the eva11gelistic spirit. They present pro– grams of praise and worship in various churches. Rules and Regulations Supervision of Girls.-As far as space permits, all girls rooming in Cedarville during the school year are expected to live in Harriman Hall. If accommodations are not available for all at Harriman Hall, the Dean of Women will assist girls to find rooms in carefully ap– proved private homes. The Housemothers, both in the Dormitory and in private homes where girls may be rooming, cooperate with the Dean in seeing that rules are observed. In the Dormitory, a house– president and a student-government committee assist the Dean and the Housemother. Girl students are expected to be in by nine o'clock, except on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, when they must be in by ten-thirty. With the written permission of the Dean upper classmen may be out later on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Satur– day night; Freshmen on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Other rules affecting students of the College are similar to those in force at the majority of Christian colleges. An advisory system by which each student is encouraged to regard some member of the faculty as his special advisor has recently been inaugurated. This is of benefit, of course, in all aspects of college life and development, and only incidentally as regards the rules for students. Grading and Credits In all courses students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, denoting excellent; B, de– noting good; C, denoting fair; D, denoting passing; and F, denoting failed. The comparative merit of tests, examinations and all other exercises, and the final standing of the student in any course, are indicated by the use of the same symbols. A equals 93-100; B equals 85-92; C equals 78-84; D equals 70-77. Semester-Hour.-In all of the courses, credit is counted by the "semester-hour." A "credit" or "semester-hour" is one recitation, lec– ture, or laboratory period a week for one semester. For illustration a student completing the work required in fifteen such periods a week for one semester receives crdit for fifteen semester-hours. Required Merit Points.-In every course in the collegiate depart– ment as many merit points are required for graduation as credits or semester-hours. For grade "A", three points for each credit are award– ed; for grade "B" two pofots; for grade "C" one point; for grade "D" no points. A minimum of 120 merit points is required for graduation from a degree course. (Merit points are not given for required physical
