[blocks in formation]

Undergraduates are required to attend with regnlarity the classes of their respective years. The extent of absence from prescribed classes which shall disqualify for the keeping of a Session shall be determined by the Faculty.

The Faculty urgently recommend that students devote their whole time during Sessions to the work of the School, experience having proved that students who undertake office work in addition to the work of their classes, receive very little advantage from the lectures. The Course having been very considerably enlarged, the Faculty apprehend that students who are doing regular office work during Session, will find it quite impossible to pass the required examinations.

A record will be kept of the values assigned to the arguments made, and these values will be considered by the Faculty in recommending a candidate for his degree.

In addition to the Moot Courts under the supervision of the Faculty, a voluntary Moot Court has been organized by students of the First Year, presided over by young barristers or by students of the Third Year.
