At this time of the school year when everything seems to be going on at once, meeting after meeting is clamoring for the busy students attention, and the assignments seem especially heavy, there comes the temptation to let things slide and just hit the "high spots" so to speak. Although there is a limit to the things which a student can do it is remarkable what can be accomplished by a little systematization, not only in study but in other lines of endeavor as well. If the average student counted up the hours absolutely wasted in idle talk or in some other useless from of inactivity, he would find that his working hours are far less than he really supposed.

The present system of having no semester tests at Purdue was designed to eliminate these disastrous brain-racking periods, and this naturally makes it much easier for the student to keep up with all of his work if he chooses to do so. Work out a system for yourself and follow it. --The Purdue Exponent.
