The negligence of some men in handing in blue books for their examinations is annoying both to themselves and to their instructors. In large sections the seats are arranged alphabetically, in order that the places may be found more easily. This, however, cannot be done if the students persist in neglecting to hand in their books, as the instructor is unable to arrange the seats as he would like or else must go to the trouble of writing out the names upon slips of paper and putting these upon the desks. We all know how disagreeable it is to come into an examination room late and then be obliged to spend five minutes in wandering round in a vain attempt to find a particular blue book, but it is certainly much more disagreeable for those who are already at work to be disturbed by the moving about of the late comer. Examinations in themselves are far from pleasant, but under existing circumstances they are a necessity, and we ought to do all in our power to lessen the trials and tribulations incumbent upon them. A little care and attention to the wishes of the instructors in this respect, will do away with at least one disagreeable feature of the present system.
