not to ask for exceptions to this rule 
midges 0} House Residence.— Students from out of town are required 
in all cases, unless residing with near relatives, to occupy rooms in the Academy 
rildj Students occupying such rooms avoid many distractions, come into 

vtrv dose contact with the life of the school, and are more likely to regard the 
school work as the one thing demanding their best efforts. They arc led to 
cultivate a healthy spirit of self-reliance, and to gain from their fellow-studei 
an enthusiasm for study and a knowledge of life. Not infrequently the best and 
most lasting results of school life are derived from its associations. Rules for 
house pupils are furnished on entrance. 

Rooms and Furnishings.— Rooms are of different kinds and sizes. As a 
rule the rooms are intended for two, using one double bed. The rooms in South 
Hall have two single beds. For one pupil in a room, see p. 35- A11 rooms are 
furnished with hardwood floors, beds, chairs, table, bureau, washstand, crockery,
