EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: I lately saw a suggestion in your editorial column, that examinations for the removal of conditions should be held in the fall, at the same time as the entrance examinations. Your suggestion is so sensible, and open to so few objections, that I hardly think it necessary to add anything to the arguments advanced in your editorial. But I would ask you to urge the proposed change, and endeavor to arouse the other college papers to a perception of the good that must arise from such a measure. Owing to a large amount of regular work, men are often compelled to defer the removal of conditions until the senior year, at which time, if a failure occurs, the unfortunate person is thrown into a most uncomfortable position. As you have hinted, the expense attendant upon extra examinations might be some hindrance to the project, but I am sure that any one would gladly pay thrice the expense if they were allowed to remove the condition at the beginning of the academic year.
