WHY CERTAINLY! Comprehensive examinations seem to me to be very fine things! “Good gosh!” say you: “Imagine the nerve! Jlxpeeting us to remember eveiything we’ve ever studied. What do they think we are? Geniuses?” T don’t think we are expected to remember everything. The amount of material that must be covered by a comprehensive exam would prevent that exam from embracing more than the “high spots.” We needn’t be geniuses. If we remember the main points of a couree, we neec have no fear of an exam. If, on the other hand, we have for gotten them, we certainly owe it to ourselves to lefresh our memory. The purpose of going to college is not to get an education, but to lay the foundation for an education. The degree we re ceive at the end of four year’s hard labor should be the means, not the end to that education. If we are to build an education, our foundation of knowledge niUKt be sound, not full of defects. There are not many of us who, as seniors finding ourselves hazy (to say the least) upon a point in a PVeshman History coui-se, would voluntarily dispel the haze. A great many of us. in fact, will have sold oui- hook. An exam at the end of four years would force iLS to look up the vague point, and the chances are all in favor of flur remembering it. Undoubtedly, thei'e would be much groaning and gnashing of teeth were these exams to be put into effect. Later on, however, we would have occasion to say thanks in appreciation. —A. R. THE CHEWING GUM GIRL “There she goes.” “How do you know?” “1 hear her.” Hy now you must be a little curious to know about whom I am talking. Well, it is the “chewing-gum girl.” If you don’t see her, you hear her. How are we to get rid of her with those rapidly manipulating jaws and horrible smacking sounds which come forth at regular intervals? In class, on campus, in chapel, in fact almost anywhere you look you can find a “chewing-gum girl.” There are far too many of them, and if they could see themselves as othei's see them, there w'ould be a much smaller number of these unlady-like pestS. Chewing gum is a habit, {I very bad one, and anyone with a little will-power can break herself of this annoying practice. I know of nothing more nerve-racking than to have a “gum-smacker” in the classroom during a test. The more nervous she grows, the more the COIN FRANCAIS TBISTSSSE, 1840 J’ai perdu ma forcc et ma vie, Et mes amis et ma gait6; J’ai perdu jusqu’S. la fiertd Qui faisait croire ^ mon gSnie. Quand j’ai connu la V4rite, J’ai cru c’6tait une amie; Quand je I’ai comprise ot sentie, J’en 6tais deja degoute. Et pourtant elle est eternelle, Et ceux qui so sont passes d’elle Ici-bas ont tout ignorfi. Dieu parle, il faut qu’on lui reponde; Le seul bien qui mo reste au monde Est d’avoir quelquefois pleure. —Alfred do Musset. GRAND PARENTS SHOW ALBUM OF MAY DAY (Continued from Page 1) Adeline”).
