Dean Thompson
Sends Parents
Honors Notices
Dean T. J. Thompson has been
sending out notices to parents
this week. Some parents have
been notified in the customary
manner that their son or daughter
baa been doing unsatisfactory work
for the Isst three quarters.
However, tbe parents of 500 stu
dents In the University will receive
a different kind of notice. It reads
this way:
"Tbe University is pleased to
inform you that your son JOHN
BROWN hss achieved a scho
lastic standing of such quality
ss to merit the inclusion of bis
name in the list of students to
be recognised for high scholsr
sbip at the Honors convocation
to be held on Wedne day evening.
May S, 1929, at eight o'clock in
Grant Memorial ball.
"You are cordially Invited to be
present at this convocation."
The parents of each of the 500
students who receives recognition
at the Honors convocation Wednes
day is receiving a notice of this
kind.
" Ordinarily." Dean Thompson
pointed out, "the only thing that
parents hear from this office is
that their children are doing poor
work. They are seldom notified
when they are doing fine work."
Some parents may get two or
three Invitations to the Honors day
convocation. Some may have two
students in the University but re
ceive only one invitation. Soma
msy get one notice of delinquency
and another notice of high schol
arship. Dean Thompson thinks that par
ents and tba public in general may
get tbe Idea that no good work is
done at tbe University because
only delinquencies sre reported to
the parents. The tipper ten per
cent In each college who are the
onea that will receive recognition
have average of over fS percent,
he pointed out. Thle year, for the
first time, psrents will not only
rwetve notices of delinquency but
(so of hlta scholarship.
