So many complaints are made about unfair and over-severe examination papers, that it is a pleasure to note the excellence of the paper given yesterday in German 3. It has been said that only the easy paper is "good" in the eyes of college students. Such a statement is absolutely false. College men will always give a fair paper all due praise, even though it be hard. The paper given yesterday by Mr. Wheeler was not easy; it was hard. But it was so arranged that every man who took the examination was able to show, not the poorest, but the best work of which he was capable. There were no catch questions of any sort whatever. The questions were broad, and represented every part of the work done in the course during the whole of the second half-year, and we do not commend too highly in saying that it is a model examination paper for this and other kindred courses.
