...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...
...mile-run is so much less important than that for the mile-walk. The reason, however, becomes apparent upon a little reflection. The prize for the mile-walk was bought with the money subscribed by a club-table, made conditional on eight minutes being equalled. This was the exact time made.

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...
