The Bates college faculty has an

omit the final examinations this year at
the college, even in the face Of the
grave war conditions. The student
body recently presented a petition ask
ing that the exams be omitted, it be-
ing signed by 2G0 Of the 325 possible
signers. The reason given in the petit
ton is the absence of SO many of the
students on patriotic duty and the ap-
preaching entrance of many others in
similar work. which would offset the
time usually given exams preparations.
