A CADEMIC REGULATIONS 23 many merit points as the specific number of credit hours. For grade "A" fou r points are awarded; for grade 'B" three points; for grade "C", two points; fo r grade "D", one point. A minimum of 248 points is therefore required for graduation from a degree course and an average grade of "C" is necessary for graduation. By the calculation of points, a student may readily determine the progress he is making. Commencement Honors. A student who wins eighty per cent of the maximum number of merit points obtainable in his course will be graduated cum laude, "with praise" ; one who wins ninety per cent of the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated magna cum laude, "with great praise", and one who wins the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated summa cum laude, "with the highest praise". Cedarville College Crown Club. In 1920 an honor society, called the Cedarville College Crown Club, was established to which members are elected by the faculty on the basis of excellence in scholarship. ( 1) a Junior or Senior who for two semesters, not necessarily consecutive, has acquired a grade of A in all of his studies may be elected to membership in this so– ciety. (2) One who in fou r semesters has obtained not more than one grade of B in each semester, all other grades being A, may be elected to member– ship. (3) A student may be elected to membership upon graduation after a full four-year course, provided he has no grade below B and three-fourths of his grades are A. (4) Students who have taken part of their college course in other institutions are el igible to the society by either of the first two standards given above, but not by the third. Upon election to this society the student is presented with a gold pin in the design of a crown similar to that in the seal of the College, and bear– ing the letters C.C.C.C. Dean's Honor L ist. Until final awards are announced at commence– ment, the highest academic honor it is possible to attain at Cedarville is to be included on the Dean's honor list. This list of high-ranking students is published at the end of each regular semester and at the end of the second summer session. The requirements for the Dean's H onor List are as follows: ( 1) A student must have an average for the semester of 3.5 merit points which are earned as explained above: each hour of "A" receives 4 merit points; each hours of "B", 3 merit points; each hour of "C", 2 merit points; each hour of "D", 1 merit point. The average is arri ed at by total– ing the number of merit points and dividing the total by the number of hours the student 1s carrying. (2) A student must ha,e no grade for the semester lower than a "B". (3) A student must carry a m1mmum of 12 emester hours of ollege , ·ork.
