A teacher mentions a test — all around the room there goes up a wave of sound. Grumble-grumble-and grumble some more. Much fuss and much chatter and even an occasional bit of nastiness. That’s the morning after so and so. J have six other tests that day. What, for goodness sakes are you here for. This is College and going to College happens to be your career and business of the moment. Members of the faculty have a perfect right to assign tests when and as they choose. Some really good colleges have a test a week in every course offered. The faculty members at Salem aren’t really unreason able. You’ve just gotten in the habit of trying to talk them out of any sort of hard work. Why not be good sports — at least you don’t have t be nasty and sulk for a week if you have two tests on one day. It’s bad, all right, but you’ll live through it and be through with colloge in three more years at the most and can spend the rest of your days going to the show. —M. H. Y.

Ill«i BARD’S BOX SOT^G ON MAY MORNING Now the bright morning star, day’s harbinger, Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her The flowery May, who from her green lap throws The yellow cowlip, and the plale primrose.

And welcome thee, and wish thee long. —Jo|hn Milton.
