LETTER TO PETITIONERS.

The undergraduate petition to the Faculty has already borne fruit in one way at least. This manifestation has come in the form of a public letter to the 1500 odd signers of the petition from a committee of the Faculty, asking some extremely pertinent questions as to the general feeling towards scholarship work. It is the endeavor of the committee to get the student's view-point on the question of rank, degrees with distinction, and the relative worth of scholarship as compared with other pursuits; and the information will be of great value.

It is the duty of all the signers of the petition to reply to this letter. Consider carefully the questions and do not fail to answer fully those that call for suggestions or ideas. The students' request was heartily welcomed by the Faculty; we, in turn, are glad to co-operate with this committee in any way possible.
