EDITORS HARVARD HERALD. I wish to add one more complaint to the numerous ones which have been directed against the examinations. The examination in Political Economy 2 was fair in every respect except one. There was one question asked in which the writers of the thesis on that particular question (a thesis is written during the year on topics given out by the instructor) certainly had a decided advantage over the other members of the class. These last few unfortunates were supposed to glean as much knowledge from the reading of parts of the various theses, as days of research would give to the respective writers of their theses. It certainly was unfair to ask a question which could be known only to a few, and I hope that the instructor will take this into account when marking the books of those who had not studied up the subject of "Bimetallism."
