To the Editors of the Daily Crimson:

There has been of late some discussion as to the management of the examinations and also some question as to whether they are conducted at present in the manner most agreeable to, and easiest for, instructor and student. Now that we are right in the midst of the trying examination period, questions on the management become doubly prominent. And there arises, as a result of a remark attributed to a member of the Faculty, and also of what seems like perfectly good reason, the question, "Why do not the Faculty furnish blue books for the examinations?" Everyone has experienced the bother of having to bring blue books to classes before examinations. Especially is this felt if the books are not brought when asked for. Such occurrences oblige the students to make explanations to the instructors and so involve all concerned in more or lesstrouble. If the blue books were furnished by the instructors themselves at the time of the examinations there could be no doubt about them in their minds nor in those of the students. The instructors would then be relieved of the trouble of looking through the books to see if they were marked, and the student of the trouble of bringing them. The question seems rational and it ought to be considered.
