...anything satisfactorily. Of course we cannot object to forensics since they are regularly counted as part of our college work, but a word may be said in reference to theses and hour examinations. Conceive them as best one may, the latter are certainly no more than necessary evils, though they serve a recognized purpose; any feasible plan for their abolition, there fore ought to be welcomed.
