A petition has been placed on the bulle-
tin boards and has already been signed by
many OF the students asking that the final
examinations be omitted. The grounds for
the petition are the extraordinary lateness
OF the examinations as planned. the fact
that they will come after numerous stu
dents will have gone to Camp Devens for
the summer military training camp re-
quired of r. q. T. C. men In the senior
division. and that the time when they are
scheduled to occur is that in which some
OF the hottest temperatures of the year
are reached. The petition suggests. as an
alternative, that several tests be given
which will have in effect the same result
as examinations, and that the removal OF
exams will prove an added incentive to
study for the tests.
