Exeter's New Marking System.

The faculty at Exeter have adopted a new marking system, similar to the one now in use here and at Andover. Reports will be sent to parents or guardians at the close of each term indicating the proficiency in five grades, by the letters A, B, C, D, E.

"Grade B represents satisfactory work and is what the average student should aim to receive but not always expect" says the prospectus issued by the faculty. In order to become an Honor man the student must not get below B and no one can be considered a candidate for a scholarship who gets more than one C. In addition to this, their faithfulness and effort are indicated in three grades by the figures 1, 2, and 3; 1 indicates a high degree of faithfulness and effort; 2, a spasmodic effort, and 3, indifference.
