...actual examination Monday was divided into three parts, ostensibly allowing one-third of an hour for each division. The second question required an essay on the July Monarchy, in other words, the history of France from 1830 to 1848, giving the men 20 minutes to write on a question covering one fourth of the time treated in the first half year...

The question is would this be worthwhile in order to secure perhaps twenty-five or thirty votes more? Would you have the Student Council undergo the expense of additional pictures, and would you have the obviously bored Juniors on this Committee be increased in order to have them sit for ten to fourteen more...
