South IL Comparison Altogether F;,vora-
bic to tho Southern Institutions.
.... [h'om tile 4Nation.] . .....,
The lncthod of conducting, college
examinations in some Of our Southern
colleges is SO. different from that OF our
Northern, that doubtless most Of your
readers will be interested in it. at
the University of Virginia., the Uni
ycrsity Of Gcbfgia, and several others.
the utmost freedom. is allowed the
student. during his examination. There
is no separating, Of them as in the
North; there is no Watching Dy the
professors or proctors; Ndf,nisSion is
even given to them to leave the room,
and in some instances they. hive been
known to be absent for hours. :Ht tho
University of Virginia the student at
tachcs Il pledge to his paper. to tho
effect that he has neither given nor
received aid during the examination
at some of the other colleges: This
plcdgc;is not required. This is, briefly,
the plan on which most of the college
examinations in. the South arc con-
ductcd. SO well has this plan worked,
that there is on record ut the Univar-
sty Of Virginia only one instance of q
student cheating during the last TWEEN
~ years, and, strange to say, lie was
from Indiana. lie was detected con-
sulting his books while out, not bv
mclnbers of tho Faculty, but by his
tcllow-stutciits: The sentiment anony
his classmates was so strong at what
they considered an outrage, that they
immediately warned him that unless
he left within so many hours, violence
might be done to his person. There is
an instance Of " case similar to this
that occurred lit the University of
Georgia. The accused wis detected
and expelled, not by The Faculty, but
by his own associates, Not long sincn
the writer had occasion to: cab upon
one of the professors in the Univorsitv
of Georgia, and, expecting to- find him
ut the examinations; was told that he
had gono to the pos!otIicc, ut some
distance. Upon meeting him and en-
pressing some surprise that he should
leave his class; his answer was:
"Ihose men arc gentlemen thcyw0uld
not take advantage Of my ABSENCE"
The sentiment is certainly very
strong against cheating all through Il G
South, and is in marked contrast with
that which exists in OUR best Northern
colleges. In the South they look upon
man who will cheat as q sneak thief,
whose very presence is an insult. IN
he North the prevalence of cheating
is. such that one might say that there
exists hardly any sentiment against it.
In the South il is the student that feels
the insult. III the North it is the Fac
ulty that feel tlio wrong. :. :,
is this not an instaMcc where our
Southern colleges are vastly superior
to our Northern on the Question Of
college morality and honor?

There is n little Georgia nightingale
