FIRE!
False alarm; but we had to grab your attention some way. An editorial labeled GOODBY, boys and gals, would leave you cold, we know. But now that you're here, keep reading; for in a few more lines the tale is told and the dream done. We may not always have done right by you, or you by us; but now by bigones are forgotten and the devil take the bind-most (that is, if the finals didn't get them). Now, without more adieu, and just in case you think we're getting too sentimental; as the tick said to the elephant, "Move on, buddy, your day is done."
THE FINAL WORTH TAKING
Once in awhile the impossible really does happen. That's the way a student feels when he takes a final that he actually enjoys. One student is recording, to the eternal glory of this particular exam week, a final of this rare sort.
It wasn't a "snap," by any means—it wouldn't have been fun at all, in fact, without a pretty sure and thorough knowledge of the material. But the questions, though they demanded accurate information, were not of the old cut and dried sort. They asked for original work, for application of what had been learned to definite problems. One had a chance to show whether his thinking on the subject had got out of his notebook and into his actual life.
The pleasant surprise of such a final, however, makes the ordinary specimen seem even more horrible than before. Would examinations be quite such bugbears if, instead of close quizzings on lists of facts and figures, they were challenges to one's knowledge and ability?
Is there a student anywhere who hasn't had at least one class the memory of which will forever after make him "see red"? That was the class in which he really studied, did more work and knew his material better than anyone else, and was practically sure of an A or a B. And then came the final that he didn't hit quite right. And he emerged with a C and a healthy contempt for grading systems.
THE LABELS ON LEARNING
An "A" on a transcript looks very well, but what does it really mean? Did its proud owner study the subject for which it was given or did he study the teacher? Did he dig into the work and master it or did he memorize lecture notes more assiduously than his fellows? May the course not have been a "snap" or the teacher "easy?"
If a grade record were to mean anything it would have to be accompanied by a character study of the owner and explanatory footnotes for the various classes. The bare labels, A, B, C, D, F,
may mean nothing. Our conception of education and its value is indeed limited, if we imagine that in either quantity or quality it can be thus measured.
RECREATION OR RE-CREATION
Through this hectic period o preparing for final examinations one bright spot remains; the oncoming vacation. As the student plows through the heavy context of calculus or ethics this long anticipated period lends a rosy distant future to the dull present.
Many plans have been made by students for the vacation. Some will take long trips, seeing places that will in themselves be an education; some will go out to summer jobs and learn new ways of doing new things. But there will be lots of us who will sit around home with no job and no money to go cavorting over the country, with little to but idle away the lazy, warm days.
These students really are among the lucky, for they will be able to use this idle time for recreation. During this period they can read up on this or that topic that they might be interested in and haven't had time to investigate with the hurly-hurly of school life occupying them, and in general improve their perspective.
Unfortunately there are not many University students who consider this as an idealistic way of spending a vacation. The general idea of vacation time at home is that of parties, dances, and just plain loafing. These things should be a part of the vacation, but a person interested in the type of individual that he will some day represent to society should attempt to inject into the recreation of his summer vacation the element of re-creation, and come back to the University next fall with an invigorated mind and a fresh outlook on life, instead of having spent the three-month interval merely as the time for a mental rest.
