Examinaiiuna He who likes examinations Must be brainier than I, So let him write about them Till his fountain pen goes dry. I've no time for breathless pauses, Beating heart and bated breath, Let me say with Patrick Henry: Give me liberty or death. - 2 was x f I N mi Molloy and his stem winderf' ow V X '11 Q lg.

And I never am exempted Though the rest may all be freed, For they show the least of pity When they see the greatest need. Yes, the dullard takes them always, Tis no matter how he strives, For the law is universal, The superior survives. If to me my wish were granted When exams. were almost due, Sharing Solomon's high priv'lege I should speak for wisdom, too. -141-- How I feel for old Belshazzar When he felt the dreadful pall And the wise knew not the answer To the writing on the wall.

Extrarta frnm Cilhanrellnr Emeritus Aglsmnrilfa Eairg CKindly donated for this publicationb 1897 Feb. 20 Sept- 18 Well, we are situated in our new quarters. Everything went fine today with the exception of the chapel service. Johnnie Bicknell still persists in leaving the room while I am reading the scripture. I must take this up at the next faculty meeting. May 3 It had to come some time and I feel that We have done the only thing possible. We sent Billy Oeschger home today. Making a date with a Wesleyan girl is more than we can allow. It isn't time for Church Union, and besides, I think Billy could have very little infiuence. May 10 The Oeschger case has come up again. We have decided to let William return to school. Recent developments have shown there were others connected with the affair and he is not wholly to blame. 1895 Sept. 21 The students are beginning the school year in a bad way. lt is impossible for a student to do justice to his or her work and be out every night until twelve o'clock. I had a very confidential talk with Grace Young today. She realizes she is not doing right and I think we will have no more trouble with her. Mar. 3 Lyman Bush sprang a surprise in our evidence class this morn- ing by answering every question I put to him. This student is a puzzle to meg how he makes his grades I have never been able to find out. 1904 I had my first talk today with our new mathematics professor, William Reeves. He talks freely about himself, but those are the sort of men for whom we are looking. He certainly is enthused over his work and for fear he will forget to dismiss his classes I have assigned him the room across the hall from mine, that I may watch him closely. Sept. 25 I am very much pleased with the work of our new Latin teacher, Miss Wampler, but her youthful ways must be curbed in some manner. A report came to me this morning that she entertained a senior last evening. I will look into this further.
