FINALS ON AT WASHBuRN
School Officially Closes With Last
Examinations SATURDAY..


Washburn students who studied
only occasionally this last semester
are having a hard time this week.
Final examinations are being given.
They cover the work of the entire
semester.
One or two of the teachers are sub
stituting other work for the finals.
but most of them prefer to stick to
the old method of written examina-
ton.
Most of the examinations begin at
9 o'clock in the morning and at
o'clock in the afternoon, but in one
of the classes, examinations begin at
7:45, and some students declare this
is adding insult to injury.
On Monday, Professor Reed of the
chemistry department announced
final for the morning. When his
classes arrived, praying that the work
would not be as deadly as it had a.
very good chance of being, he gave
them a picture show instead,-a
stereopticon lecture. None of the
other teachers have shown any signs
of following his example.
This viii be the last work taken by
the students this year. School Off
cially ends with the last examination
Saturday. Next week will be given
over to the graduating class as COM
mencement week.
