FINALS WHICH AREN'T HARD TO TAKE
SUNDAY, MAY 29, 1927
Modifying the hide-bound rule of a three-hour final according to the examination schedule, a few thoughtful instructors have planned concluding quizzes which are truly educational. To these every student gives his respect and his thanks.
Not because the revised form of final examination may be any easier, though physically it often is, are the students appreciative, but because constructive good will be derived instead of three hours of your笔试's cramp.
Long, toothed fins in which all the memorized facts of the semester are meticulously written down, are not beneficial to the student to any appreciable extent. His knowledge of the subject does him just as much good in his head, and when he becomes tired of hearing he cannot even do justice to that knowledge. The instructors in the majority of the courses know the quality of the student's work without a grueling discussion on reiterated facts.
Modified forms include individual interviews, class question periods, discussion of problems to be met in relation to the particular course, and an individual evaluation of a student's work by the instructor with advice as to a future course.
The good derived from this type of final is much greater; the student sees his course as a unit, enmming it is avoided, and personal contact with instructors clarifies matters as a written examination would never do, and leaves one with a pleasant attitude toward that particular course.
Students leaving the University this year will keep a very soft spot in their hearts for the few of their instructors who made fun! week a pleasure and a benefit.
Glady, the office girl, is of the opinion that the radio entertainers at KFKU will have to sing louder to be heard as far, now that the station has a shorter wave length.
UNIVERSITY PIONEERING
The University Alfant method in education has passed its infant experimental stage. Next fall the second world-around cruise under the same museums, will start, minus this years incumbencies in the folk of flappers and too many older folk for chaperones. Not that it was the girls' fault or the chaperones' either, but it was just the fault of short-sightedness and inexperience. Co-education in traveling is not what it is "cracked up" to be.
But the college of the seven seas, in addition to being the newest project in higher education, contained the gorm of a wonderful development. It suffered from troubles as pioneers always do. Many mistakes were made, but an attempt will be made not to rete them. All in all, the members of the party passed through an experience that broadened the life of every member.
Certain subjects especially, such as geology, economic and human geography, economics and foreign trade, history, sociology, art and architecture, were studied where they were made; and no one could come out of these courses without a conception of the subject bigger, broader, more per-
oal and lasting, than equivalent ourses in a land college could give o one.
Next year's cruise for men will no doubt prove to be a greater success than this year's was. Power to the newmen that put such an expedition across! They are the pioneers in an extremely interesting and helpful project of culture and education.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, through communication with the spirits, has learned that a terrible catastrophe is about to overtake the world; a catastrope even worse than war, he says. We know what it is. Finals are upon us.
UNIVERSITY SELECTION
The University of Missouri is facing a problem, the result of insufficient appropriations and a mounting enrollment. To reach a solution, according to President Brooks, there are three possible courses: The discontinuance of some of the work now being done, dramatic limitation of attendance, or reduction of the quality of the work.
For those who are attending the University merely to have a good time and just "get by," the reduction of the quality of the work would, no doubt, be preferable. But to those whose life at the University is an expression of a real desire to get an education, the reduction of the quality of the work or a discontinuance of some of the work now being done would be unfair.
It remains, then, for the university authorities to formulate a method whereby some sort of limitation may be put upon attendance at the university. It is evident that it is but a matter of time before an increasing number of colleges and universities will choose their students. It is but a matter of selection, a division of the words and the fruit.
The President "indicates an impulse" to go to Lake Winnipesau, Wis. for his summer vacation, according to a news dispatch from Washington. Would that we all could act on the impulses.
WE PLEAD FOR CONSIDERATION NEXT FALL
The semester is coming to a close with more than the usual bustle and burry. Students wander over the campus in a day, haggard and tired from their work. Staying up all night is not exactly conducive to an alert appearance.
A pretty picture of the poor, dear students, some of you murmur. Yes, but one that in only too true. The immeasurable fact is that many of the students—not all of them, we must admit—have been doing the work as assigned. Suddenly in the past few weeks without any previous warning instructors in nearly every department on the HII have been giving out extra assignments, work that must be completed before commencement.
Go past Snow hall all evening. There are many buildings working in the building. Go by Green hall or the engineering buildings or other buildings. Students are laboring in each of them. Yet how much easier it would have been on the students and on the instructors who have to grade them, if the assignments had been given early in the semester instead of in the last two or three weeks.
We, the students, complain continually, we realize. Still a little consideration at the end of the year, when we are trying to prepare for the finals, would be more than appreciated. Please, Mr. Instructor, next year tell us about those term papers and laboratory problems early so we can finish them without having to stay up all night at the close of the semester.
It really isn't nice to be cynical, but some of the seniors who are now complaining about final examinations are likely to find the cruel, cold world has a little way of giving examinations pretty regularly.
A mid-ocean landing station for planes is to be tested soon. How pessimistic some folks are!

Miss Saunders showed not only a clear, finished technique, but an artistic conception of beauty and feeling. She made a polished and planning appearance that definitely appealed to the small but appreciative audience.
A particularly outstanding recital was given Wednesday night by Heather Saunabra, pupil of Prof. C. A Preyer, in her senior piano recital.
The program opened with two classics, the first, Preade and Foume in D minor, by Bich, being presented in a performance by Alessio Santo, was intelligible even to the layman.
The brilliant Sonata in C sharp was a heavier work of Professor Preyer's than those we have heretofore heard, but it was marked with his own charming improbable style. His Sonata the Sonata brilliant yet melodic.
The annual exhibition of composers, Shelia-Bliner-Bauer produced a modern number in From the North, the first of the third group. This intercaring group ended with Liszt's Hungarina Rhapsody No. 1, not much heard, played with molecule force.
In the conventional senior recital Chionin group" Miss Saunders was it her best. It was a relief to have his composition of the less heard receptions. Chionin with variety is a trait to any naked vocalist. The prelude, followed by an explicitly dreary Noise supplied that, certainly.
The program was brought to a brilliant climax in the dramatic Chopin Scherzer in B flat minor, in which he sets up an unpredictable nationalower hit.
This was a varied and exceedingly well planned and well executed pream.
