...been suggested that a change might be made in the form of printing the examination papers of past years. The objection urged to the present method is that one set only of papers in several subjects are printed together, as, for instance, Philosophy, History, Political Economy, etc. A student who wants an old examination paper in a History course is obliged to purchase a number of papers in courses that he does not care for in order to get one of the course he is studying up.

At present the University rows at 4.20, the freshmen at 4.40, the juniors at 5, and the seniors at 5.20, while the sophomores manage to get in before the University, at about 4 o'clock.

The faculty is also said to be divided against itself. Vague rumors reaches the students of an aweinspiring dignitary seated in his 'old carved oaken chair of state.' It is vaguely intimated that at times he seems to consider his high-backed chair a throne, and the necks of his meek contemporaries adjustable footstools. It is hinted that...
