EDITORS OF CRIMSON.-I beg leave to use your columns to call attention to a matter which I am sure will interest all Seniors and Juniors-that is the examination in forensics. I think I may say that a large proportion of the upper-class-men look with favor upon the change, except as regards the number of subjects to be prepared. A glance at the list offered will show that it contains only topics requiring advanced work and most careful study. To one who is interested in the work, it would be very unsatisfactory to go into the examination...

Each year was an open question, though practically decided beforehand by the known majority. This year there is reason to think that there has been a great change in the feeling of many of the students, and that the college is at least closely divided. So far as the students as a body are concerned, the question should be decided by the majority as in former years. When this has been decided...
