of a physician. Activities in these classes are confined to calis– thentics, group games, relays and related work. Ample facilities have been provided for athletics, including indoor and outdoor sports for both men and women. Alford Memorial Gymnasium houses the indoor sports. The college field contains a regular gridiron around which a quarter-mile track is proposed. An excellent baseball diamond provides ample playing area for this popular spring sport. The Grading System Students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, excellent; B, good; C, fair; D, passing with work inferior to the average; I, incomplete; and F, denoting failure and no credit. USE OF GRADES FOR GUIDANCE Grades are issued at the end of nine weeks and at the end of the semester. The purpose of the nine week marks is to in– dicate to the student the courses in which he needs to improve the quality or quantity of his work. This information should help him to raise low grades before the semester ends and they become final. The grades received in courses are also useful to indicate to the student the fields for which he has the greatest apti– tude. A student with low grades in a major or minor field is advised to select another field of concentration. The mark "Incomplete" is given when a student has done satisfactory work in a class but has been unable to complete all the required work because of conditions beyond his con– trol. The work may be made up within two weeks after the close of the semester. If it is not completed during that period, the "incomplete" becomes an F. GRADE POINTS AND POINT AVERAGES Cedarville College uses what is called the "four point grade point system" to determine the exact academic average. Grade points are awarded as follows: 26 Each semester hour of A = 4 grade points Each semester hour of B = 3 grade points Each semester hour of C = 2 grade points Each semester hour of D = 1 grade point Each semester hour of F = 0 grade points
