The man who finds all his examinations coming within the first five days and that he will then have a two weeks' vacation, looks triumphantly at the struggling mortal next to him who sees with horror that his first comes on Jan. 27th and his last on February 11th. Every time when this "mene mene tekel" appears on the walls of Cambridge, there is a panic abroad in the land. Let the capitalist, the owner of ten days' vacation...
