IS IT PRACTICABLE?

We notice with interest the announcement of a new system of general examinations in the Divinity School which aims at testing the student's knowledge of his subject as a whole. In the college itself all possible should be done to break down the barriers between separate courses, and to make men see their interrelation. To those trying for degrees with distinction this is now fairly satisfactorily carried out. With the new system of choosing courses, would it not be possible to hold such an examination of every candidate for any degree, in regard to that field of study which he has chosen to concentrate in?
