194 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. by the faculty as having good reputations as scholars, officers, and gentlemen. Under the authority of the acts of corporation, the trustees have prescribed a uniform of cadet gray, coat trimmed with black mohair braid, trousers with black cloth stripe, cut after the U.S. army pattern. The uniform of the cadet officers is of dark blue cloth for coat and light blue for trousers; cap for all of dark blue cloth, army pattern, with university badge embroidered thereon in gold bullion; white gloves; that of the band dark blue throughout, with special trimmings. The University Cornet Band is composed of students, and every full term of service therein is counted as one term of drill. PHYSICAL TRAINING. This department aims to furnish a rational system of exercise adapted to the needs of the student as a physical basis for complete education. At the commencement of the year, and again at its close, each student is examined thoroughly according to the Sargent system and his measurements charted, for the purpose of enabling him to compare his condition with a large number of others, and of furnishing him a laudable incentive for bodily improvement. Each student is also given a prescription of exercise having for its object the correction of bodily defects, the promotion of good health, and the symmetrical development of the body, rather than mere accumulation of muscle. The general work consists of free and light gymnastics in classes, boxing, fencing, wrestling, and work on apparatus. TERM EXAMINATIONS. Examinations are held at the close of each term or oftener, or whenever any study has been completed. Any student failing to answer correctly 60 per cent, of the questions proposed, loses all credit for that study, and is precluded from proceeding with any other studies without special permission. If he answers from 60 to 74 per cent, of the questions he is conditioned and may have another examination on application to, and arrangement with, the instructor. This arrangement must be made within ten days from notification of term standing; 75 per cent, is required to pass. A record is kept of each student's term standing.
