A WARNING.

Now that the November hour examinations are over a justifiable feeling of self-satisfaction doubtless pervades those men who have safely passed this trying ordeal. There is, perhaps, a pardonable tendency to indulge in a little ease and recreation. After unusual exertion, self-pity is natural, and it is pleasant to pursue the Siren, Self-indulgence. But therein lurks the ever-present danger of demoralization. Again we warn all students, and especially those new to the ways of the University and as yet unadapted to university life, not to abate their zeal in doing their prescribed college work, now that they have safely passed the first test. The amount of work put off from day to day accumulates surprisingly fast. The mid-year examinations which now seem so far away are in fact near at hand and safety lies alone in faithful daily performance of the prescribed tasks.
