Weaver College Supports Compulsory Classes, Dec. 15, 1924

There is a movement in some of the larger institutions of the country to abolish compulsory class attendance. This question was discussed in the literary societies at Carolina recently and it was unanimously greed that whatever good arguments there might be in favor of it, these were more than offset by the fact that few Freshmen and Sophomores are capable of being their own judge regarding class attendance. Since Weaver does not go any further than the completion of the Sophomore year in a standard four-year A grade college, this question is not likely to be an issue here. Certainly it is not wise to foster the growth of a bunch of loafers!
