The communication this morning mentions the innovation, which was introduced for the benefit of those men who were absent from their mid-year examinations because of militia duty in Lawrence during the strike and who were, therefore, allowed to take their make-up examinations in April. In our previous editorial we pointed out the desirability of making this a permanent feature, and we hope with the writer of this morning's communication that the office will...
