enior ' si ieiu of €xaminationsi IN examining diseases phj ' sicians alwaj ' s try tu find some means by wliicli the cause may be discovered. After that has been done, they then give prescrip- tions that ill remove the cause. Now that we have had the disease of exami- nations several times during tlie past four years, we are competent to prescril e a cure for it. The comljined wisdom of the Class of 1911 offers the following reconnnen- dations to the Faculty of Chowan College for future years: First, That all tears before, on or after examinations Iw forljidden. Second, That the three hours of examinations be divided by three. Third, That the teachers tell the i upils exactly what questions will be asked. Fourth, On Latin and Mathematics examinations all jionies and keys be freel.y allowed. Fifth, That alarm clocks be allowed to wake up the girls in Normal Two, any time during the night, in order that they ma ' jjass on Dr. Bruner ' s examinations. Sixth, Tliat the teacher of Geometry accept a jilane figure to re])resent a solid. Seventh, We recommentl a new text book in Geometry and Trigonomet ry in which all spherical triangles lie lucidly explained. Eighth, That ciuadratic equations, radicals and the binominal theorem be relegated to the observatorj-. Ninth, That all dates in history be confined to the Founding of Rome, Discoverj ' of America, Norman Conquest, and Declaration of Indepen- dence. Tenth, That only the formulie of water and sulphuric acid be required to be memorized in Chemistry, antl that all gases with taste and odor never be allowed to be made in the laboratory of Chowan College. Eleventh, We recommend to the trustees telescopes sufficient to reveal the discovery of new stars. 24
