This card has on it the picture of the student and such personal data as may be secured from his study list, a record of all his petitions, his scholastic standing, his class attendance, and a statement of such interviews as he may have with the student. He has given special attention to foreign students, who ^ m < here ordinarily without much knowledge of our customs and the local conditions.
