One more day of trial and then the whole college will breath a sigh of relief at the thought that the examinations have vanished from the face of the earth. For a space of four months gradually the thought of blue-books and of misery will fade from men's minds and leave them fresh to encounter the Finals.

It is quite impossible to summarize the results of all the examinations or show the light in which the individual students regarded them. There appears, however, to be a very general idea among the upper-classmen that the examination papers were constructed on a broader basis this year than heretofore. The instructors made the scope of their questions wider and thus gave the students a chance to assert their knowledge or to disclose their ignorace in a more manly and scholarly way. The nature of the papers must of necessity vary greatly with the subject matter and some studies would not allow of this broader treatment. But in branches like history, political economy and the classics, the inexact sciences in a word, it is not only admissible but thoroughly valuable. The pedantically inclined may cry out against the omission of details and the substitution of "glittering generalisation" but the more modern educationalists cannot fail to welcome the new departure.
