NEWARK, May 24.-rhis is the most
important week of four years to the
members of the senior class OF Delaware
College. The seniors are having their
final examinations this week and much
midnight Oh has been burned preparing
for these last "eNams.' With those who
pass. and there viii be few If any, who
DO not pass according TO reports around
the campus, the strain will be over IN
few days.
Some time ago a petition was circu-
lated among the students advocating
the honor system for examinations.
About sixty per cent. of the students
signed the petition and the system VIII
be tried out starting with next week.
As the seniors have their examinations
this week, they do not enter into the
honor system of examinations yiis year.
The fact that only siXty-hvc per cent.
of the other classes take the eXamina
iions under this system does not mean
that 40 per cent. are opposed TO IT, as
many refused 10 make any declaration
at all when the petition was circulated.
The honor system is entirely new for
Delaware College Those who signed
the petition for the system will be
placed separately when the eXamina-
tions are conducted, starting with next
week and will he on their honor TO not
cheat. Those who did not sign the PEE
tition win take their examinations IN
rooms with instructors present as usual
Recently a Joint committee of the stu
dents and faculty was appointed 10 ar
