...crowded day. But she found time to save an old pal from committing suicide by taking him into her bed. Oliver found them together. Donka tried to patch it up, but Oliver had been hit too hard. Besides he was dying from an obscure stomach complaint. Operated on too late, he kept calling for Donka. When her picture was finished she hurried to him, but Oliver was dead...

That this is no idle and disgruntled complaint is evinced by the way in the examinations in Chemistry 44 and Physics D were handled last year. Another case was presented by the Bible and Shakespeare examinations last spring in the field of History and Literature, when a large portion of the questions were not concerned in any way with the required reading. Apparently, whoever was in charge had neglected even to glance at the papers until the test had actually started...
