The Literary Societies have from the opening of the University enjoyed its fostering care. The ADELPHIC and PHILOMATHEAN societies for men and the ALETHENAI for women, occupy spacious halls which the members have furnished and decorated with taste and elegance. Meetings are held on Friday evenings throughout term time, are well attended, and are maintained with unflagging interest. They furnish excellent drill in writing, speaking, and parliamentary methods. The YOUNG MEN'S and YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN A S NATURAL HISTORY, of CIVIL ENGINEERING, of MECHANCAL ENGINEERING, and ARCHITECTURE. FRATERNITIES. SOCIATIONS are active and useful. Special organizations unite the students of After careful and thorough investigation, the Trustees and Faculty have agreed that the original policy of the University towards these organizations should be maintained, and that the regulations which forbid the introduction here of the College Fraternities, sometimes called the Greek-letter Societies, should remain in force. All the useful purposes which such societies subserve are secured from the existing literary societies. EXAMINATIONS. Written examinations are held at the close of each term or oftener, and whenever any study has been finally completed. Any student failing to answer correctly 75 per cent, of the questions proposed, loses all credit for that study, and is precluded from proceeding with any other studies without special permission.
