It has been the custom in past years for instructors to ask for the blue-books to be used by students in the examinations. Much annoyance is caused both to students and instructor by non-compliance with this simple request. It is disagreeable for the instructor to be obliged to resort, for punishment of the offenders, to the expedients of school boy days; yet it is eminently proper that some mode of expressing displeasure of the student's action should be found. The most common way is loss of the first few minutes of the examination. But this mode of punishment makes suffer an entire room full of men, since one cannot settle down to work while even a slight amount of bustle or confusion is going on around him. Consequently we hope that every one who has not already handed in blue books will do so before the day set for his individual examinations.
