THE article in last weeks' Courier signed Student, created comment. It seems that it was a little too radical to suit a good many. However that may be, there is a large element of truth in it and this is borne out by facts and observations.
DON'T COME LATE.
It is very natural for some people, and a second nature in fact, to be slow. They are slow about getting up in the morning, slow at their work and slow to see their mistakes If gravitation did not pin them to mother earth they would in all probability be too slow to keep pace with her in her onward course around the sun. The same people at times attend an oratorical contest, and as might be expected are slow in going there, generally arriving just in time to interrupt a speaker who has hoped and prayed not to be interrupted.
Do these snails ever think of this fact that they not only insult the speaker but also the audience? If you are going to attend a contest in the future, be sure and be on time. If not, you better stay at home, as the orators can easily dispense with your presence if you insist on being late.

The present system of examination may perhaps suit those who were instrumental in establishing it, but they alone are its only friends and champions.
We have taken some care to investigate and find out what some of the most prominent students think about it, and as a result we find them dissatisfied. As one of the students said, and he is a senior, as well one of the brightest in the class; "I would rather take an examination of three hours duration and have it over with than to take it in parcels of one hour duration." If the examination system is to be continued at K. U., then give us back the old regime. It is superior to the present and does not cause the student half as much trouble and worry. However either one of the systems is a bug-bear and a millstone on the wheels of progress.
