Announcement of Exams.
At the meeting of the Faculty
held on last Tuesday, the matter of
announcing examinations was dis
cussed. It was decided that the
present law forbidding the an
nouncement of examinations should
he abrogated until the subject
could be more thoroughly discussed.
The method of unaunouncing ex-
axaminalions has, in our opinion,
long been one of the most palpable
defects of our college. Our Uni
versity should emulate the noble
plan of the Northern colleges in
this matter, and should stale unhes

selves from an examination, if it
were announced. Now, experience
has shown that no such puerility is
manifested; but, on the other baud,
that more boys are present at an
announced than at an unannounced
examination.
In fuct, nothing can be argued in
favor of not announcing the exams,
which cannot be easily shown to be
injudicious.

It is unnecessary hero to enter
into the discussion of the useful
ness of college yelling. Every one
acknowledges its benefits, as those
who witnessed the U. of (I. vs. Fur
man game last year will testify.
Nothing so encourages a disheart
ened team, or so inspires them with
confidence as a good uniaonaut yell.
It has been suggested that the
college be divided into two divis
ions, the Juniors and the Freshmen
in on* division, the Seniors, Sopho
mores and Lawyers in the other.
We take the authority of appoint
ing Messrs. Ryals and Bacon, two
eiilhusiasliu members of last yeai's
brigade, as leaders of these two di
visions respectively.
