...hour, which, when he took the course, he had every reason to suppose he would receive. Then again, when his half-hour is over, he must be an unwilling listener to instruction that, in most cases at least, can be of little use to him. Besides this, one would think that a whole hour was quite short enough time for an instructor, however full of his subject, to do justice either to himself or his class...
...status of the "House clubs" for next year, although on a very uncertain basis, does not seem to warrant the discouraging article in the Advocate of last week. We should think that Mr. Blakie would hardly foreclose this spring, if there was a reasonable chance of getting the rest of his money in the autumn ; and the coming of the guileless Freshman, like the first bird of spring, may be a forerunner of better times for the House Clubs.

Of course examinations cannot be arranged so as to please every one; but to me it seems very unjust that some men should have so much less time to prepare them than others have. I know of one case (my own) where the poor fellow has five exams in three days, and the first three days of the first week. Now my cousin has five examinations in three weeks, with plenty of time to prepare them, and time to go to the theatre...
