THE WHY OK AN EXAMINATION It is with a sigh of relief that we contemplate four-fifths of our semes ter exams nailed to the mast and only a stray or two left to mar the enjoyment of the balmy springlike weather. However, we do not object to ex aminations as such. There are exams and exams. When they test for effi ciency, for practical working knowl edge, for mental capacity, well and good. Hut when they call for mem ory of catch questions, or unnecessary and useless details, they are a delu sion and a snare. The institution of examinations un doubtedly has value as a mental stim ulus. It often leads to the correla tion of scattered bits of information which, according to the natural se quence of events might never have been correlated. In certain courses it gives rise to desperate attempts to remember the phraseology of the in structor, for “Verily, is a pet expres sion of more value than a volume of dissenting opinion.” Again, we dis cover certain social lights forsaking the usual Sorority Route No. 1, to be come enamored of a crisp new volume with leaves still uncut, or a dusty volume of forgotten lore, as the case may be. In either the chances are. he is treading paths unknown. However, one may see the rank and file of students marching to the cru cial test with heads high in the know ledge of a semester well spent and of tasks well mastered. HIE d I, A1 > HAND The (>. A.

Playing Professional Teams. —It shall not be considered a violation of an amateur rule for a conference team, provided that the faculty athletic committee of the institution sanction such game nr contest. Resolution. Whereas, Students of an institu tion frequently, out of a mistaken sense of loyalty conceal from their faculty athletic committee the fact that promising athletes of their own college have rendered them selves ineligible, and Whereas, such knowledge or evidence may come into the posses sion of the faculty committee or stu dents of another conference institu tion, and Whereas, The faculty athletic committee of the institution which the student desires to represent is the court of last resort in determin ing the status of their students, and Whereas, The publication of exag gerated and garbled accounts of such rumors or facts creates unfriendly feeling in rival institutions and de tracts from the dignity and worth of the institution in the public mind, it is hereby expressly Resolved, That all publication or circulation of such evidence shall be prevented as far as possible until the faculty committee of the institu tion involved shall havtr hal suffi cient opportunity to investigate and decide the questions submitted. In Witness Whereof. The several institutions have hereunto set their signatures by their duly accredited representatives in this conference, this 21st day of December, 11112.

The Sophomore committee at Wash ington in charge of the informal class dance, is divided on the ques tion as to whether ragging will be al lowed. Some favor the proposition of allowing certain rag dances on the program and yet do not care to have printed on the list. They argue that unless one has ragged they are liable to be prejudiced against the dance. Preston & Hales Mfgrs. of all Leather Goods Dealers in PAINTS AND PAPER Agts.
