Another Mem Hall tradition is Mr. Test When you take your first Mem Hall exam you will see him; a rotund man, his bald pate rimmed by electro-shock curly hair, a bottle of soda surgically grafted to his hand and his mellifluous bass vice oozing out of the corners of the giant mead hall in which exams are given...
