1962-1963 Academic Catalog

The Student Council and administration have set the following regulations to govern attendance. In general, students are permitted to be absent from a class without excuse the number of times that the class meets each week. For example, a student may be absent from a three– hour-course three times. However, each absence from a class on the day before or after a school holiday or vacation is counted as two absences. Being tardy for class three times constitutes one absence. Individual instructors will prescribe the effect of excessive absenses on the grade earned in the course. A student who is unable to attend classes because of illness is excused upon presentation of a written statement from the school nurse. Students who find it necessary to be absent be– cause of emergencies at home should notify the Dean of Stu– dents in order to be excused. After each absence, excused or unexcused, the student is required to make up the work he has missed. It is the re– sponsibility of the student to find out from his instructor how he can make up the work. It is also his responsibility to pre– pare for the class meeting that follows his absence. Physical Education Physical Education is required of all students unless a stu– dent is specifically excused by the faculty or on recommendation 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.
