EXAMINATION" AT THE Uteivnitarriga. —The
great bugbear and terror of undiegraduats *xi:stenos lies in
Mist awful word "examination." There are, it is true,
little iatorlitchs of delinkt, iniesistins of the remainder of
the term in whiob a triumph has been gained ; but yet, for
an 'amours man, there really seems no rest, The ordeals
are undergone is rooms situated in a splendid quadrangle
called "the schools:" the written work is dons at
small deal tables, each man having a separate table, sad
examiners are posted all about to prevent " cribbing "
of any kind, which nevertheless doss, we suspect,
go on to • considerable extent in the " pus " schools.
It is as awful affair for • culprit to be discovered.
We well remember being startled by bearing the
had examiner on a certain aftmoooc annotmos, is •
loud, clear tons, " Sir --, you will Oars the goodness
to leave the schools ." Happily, in this cue, the suspicion
eventually proved to have been unfounded. When the viva
axe comae on, each victim goes up to a table covered with
green baize, where sit the two inquisitor. ; the trembling
wretch is requested in bland Losesto sit dolts, which ha
does, looking fui tingly round at his friends, who, with a
mistaken kindness, if he is • nervous man, ass assembled to
see how he gets co. If a man is popular, or if he is
is for
bosoms, sod great things ars expected of him, largo sem-
ben are often present to hoar him. This was the case whoa !
the peanut Lord-Lieutenant of lridsod and Lord Cirmievos
were candidates for the class list. Numerous stories are
always afloat of wooderful blunders is divinity ,• some of •
course, are mventious, and others fact% or foitaded on facts.
Here are'couple of amusing specimens, which we credit with
some foundation : Examiner—" What ass you tell me abed
St. Paul r Uadergradisate—" He wee also called Said,
and WM brought up at the foot of Gambill." Examine—
" Yes, quite right. What do you know about Gansidisi I"
Untlergraduit•--" It is a mountain is Galilee " The
Dolt we believe, may be credited to Cambridge. Ex-
seder—" Why didM.oess leave Rapt?" Undergraduate •
(with hesitatioa) " Why, eki—hem—hem— " Ex-
aminer—" COME, coins, answer if you know." Under-
graduate—" Well, sir, I suppose that little affair with
Potiphar's wife !" For the following we do not attempt
in any way to vouch, slthoueh we have beard its Lathes-
tieity sinuously sawarted. Examiner—" Why was John
the Baptist beheaded 1" Undergraduate (falWringly)—
