For a third offense reported within a year thereafter he will be summoned before the Faculty for a third warning and reproof, and his parent or guardian will again be notified, after which, if another such report be received a t the Regent's office within a year, he will be called before the Faculty and held liable to suspension or expulsion from the University. For aggravated offences, or for those especially injurious to the University, this disciplinary process may be indefinitely abbreviated.

SOCIETIES AND M E E T I N G S .

No society or association may be organized among the students of the University without permission of the Faculty, and no change in the character or regulations of such society or association may be made without such permission. The Faculty reserves the right to withdraw its authorization from any society of students, if, in the judgment of the Faculty, the well-being of the University requires such action. No special meeting of students' societies or associations, or any public meeting of students, may be held during the hours devoted to the regular exercises of the University, or in the rooms of the University, except upon permission obtained from the Regent. The Trustees authorize the heating and lighting of rooms specially assigned to the recognized University societies and assoc ations, but for their regular meetings only. Meetings of the societies occupying University rooms must close at 11 p. m. during September, October, March, April, May, and June; at 10:30 p. m. during November, December, January, and February. The times for all public entertainments or exhibitions must be fixed, with the consent of the Faculty, at least two weeks beforehand; and all programs for the same must be submitted to the committee on public exercises and receive their approval. The junior class will give a public exhibition under supervision of the committee on public exercises at such time as the Faculty may direct; the seniors may give class day exercises during the commencement week. No publication may be issued by students in the name of the University, or by societies or classes, without permission of the Faculty.

MILITARY D E P A R T M E N T .

Military instruction at the University is not a matter of choice with the students or with the authorities; it is a matter of law and duty. The congress of the United States, and the legislature of Illinois have made it a special and imperative feature in the charter laws of this institution—an obligation in return for the advantages of free education. The following rules shall govern the military duties so imposed: 1. Every male student shall study United States Drill Bequlations For Infantry, and shall recite upon the same once a week until he passes two creditable term examinations; and every male student not excused by the Faculty on account of physical disability, or other sufficient cause, shall have military drill twice a week until he obtains six creditable term records. Those selected as officers shall continue recitations during their term of service. 2. The class room instruction and the drill practice shall begin for each student as soon as practicable after he enters the University; provided, t h a t students in the preparatory classes, carrying no freshman studie* and not expecting to matriculate during the year, shall not be thus enrolled. The study of the United States drill regulations and of military science shall be subject to the same rules in regard to recitations, examinations, and standing as other University studies.
