The change in the hour of examinations from 10 to 9.15 A. M. appears to be extremely distasteful to many undergraduates, and complaints are again heard against the "wiles of the crafty faculty" which thus deprive the poor student of an hour in which he hopes by a stupendous exertion to review the work of months. We think that these complaints are unjust, and that the authors of the new rule have shown their real regard for the student's interest by thus depriving them of that time in which many men against their better judgment, unfit themselves by hard study for the three hours' work which is to follow. An examination in Philosophy or Political Economy, for example, requires that the physicaland mental condition of the student should be excellent, and that all his faculties should be on the alert, if good results are to be won. Much more depends upon physical condition than on the possession of a few extra facts. We think, therefore, that, since the temptation to "cram" just before examinations is too strong even for the most sensible persons, and since such hard work before examination often injures more than it helps, the new rule is perhaps for the best interests of the students.
