Action of the U. of P. Faculty on College Publications.

The clipping which follows, is taken from the Pennsylvanian. It is interesting, showing as it does the attitude that many colleges are taking in regard to the recognized student publications.

"The Faculty, at their meeting on Saturday morning, took action upon the college papers and their relation to the Department in English, which will undoubtedly induce more men and men of higher standing in their classes to compete for positions on these papers than has been the case in the past. The Faculty have determined that men who have taken honors during Freshman and Sophomore years in English, and who are elected to positions on the recognized papers of the University, may be excused from certain work of the English Department which the professor and instructors of the Department may name, on condition that an equivalent amount and quality of work be done for these papers, and the Department be advised of the work thus done.'
