promptly at the beginning of the term, and after they have
entered should not be removed even for a day, unless it be
absolutely unavoidable. The Faculty has observed the distracting
influence incident to students leaving College for
social visits, and discourages all such visits in every possible
way. In the case 0.£ relatives, or where there are special reasons,
students may be permitted to spend the day away from
College if it does not interfere with stated work. Otherwise
parents must not expect that leave of absence will be given
except to return home. In this case the Faculty also earnestly
requests parents to bear in mind that frequent absences from
study make progress impossible. With the long holiday recess
at Christmas and the short recess at Easter, the school term
is broken up quite enough, and students should be sent back
to their work promptly at the end of the recess. The school
closes about a week before Christmas Day, and students who
leave before the closing day will miss one or more of their
examinations. All extra examinations made necessary by
students leaving before the time will be charged for at the rate
of one dollar for each examination.
Visitors to the College will always be welcome under the
following conditions: No person can visit a young lady in
the College without a letter from her parents and the approval
of the Faculty. No visits are allowed on Sunday.
Relatives visiting students must not expect any of the College
regulations to be abrogated on account of their presence. The
College cannot entertain visitors, but the President will take
pleasure in having every attention shown those who may be
interested in seeing the College or its students, and will give
any information in regard to hotels and boarding-houses,
where comfortable accommodations may be secured in Westminster.
