June brings the roses and the examination proctors, but where do they come from? Are they exchange professors of Careful Scrutiny from the Middle West, or do they really live here? There simply is no available data about them. They may be perfectly nice people, and then again they may be pick-pockets.

Moreover what do they do at the back of the room when no one is looking? Of course it's impossible to keep watching them all the time, but there is always the feeling that they are getting into mischief back there. Towards the close of a long examination they start nudging one another and giggling, and disturbing the scholars. There ought to be some-one around to take care of the proctors.
