How ninny studentn, If asked

an explanation of the names of
some of these buildings, would

number run he shown only by
an actual test, but It is extreme
ly doubtful If a large number
would have such capabilities. Is
there any wonder for this state
of affairs when even members of
the faculty, trustees and proud
alumni often And it a difficult
and embarrassing task to direct
their guests properly?
Harvard, with all its uge and

Toombs and lllll: has Phi Kappa

For 129 years the banner of

A common mistake made by
university professors in giving
examinations lies in their fail
ure to conceive clearly the real
purpose of exams and to con
duct their tests accordingly. An
examination may serve the pur
pose of informing III the uni
versity that the student is qual
ified to pass to a higher division
or to receive a degree; (21 the
instructor that his lectures are
clear and Intelligible; 12) the
student.
The first purpose is not well
served by course examina
tions; comprehensive examina
tions would undoubtedly be
more satisfactory. The second
purpose is probably of minor
Importance. The third Is the
true purpose of course examina
tions, namely, to tell the stu
dent what he does not know in
order that he may remedy the
deficiency. That is, a person
studbs a subject and learns
something ubout it. Hut he
needs to find out in what re
spects Ills knowledge is defec
tive, in order that he may pro
ceed to learn what he does not
know and thus acquire an ade
quate knowledge of the subject.
This is thi- real use and Justifi
cation of course examinations.
For this reason course ex
ams should be looked upon as
at present they are not simply
as a means to assist students in
acquiring knowledge. The In
telligent procedure would seem
to be for the Instructor to give
a quiz/, and then explain to his
class how they should have
answered the questions, letting
each student correct Ills own
paper. Ity this method, the in
structor Is saved the drudgery
of correcting mountains of pa
pers, while the students, as is
right, are pul on their own re
sponsibility. Those who are In
terested in the course protil by
their mistakes, and not only
does the instructor gain in time
and freedom from routine but
the student can not longer work
for marks instead of knowledge.
Many prominent alumni have
spent their college days in this

name from the LeConte broth

The Law school takes its name
from Chief Justice Lumpkin, a
foremost Jurist of this state.
The Journalism school is named
for Henry W. Grady, one of his
tory's most famous orators and
a journalist who did so much to
bring the South and North to

The sun-dial in front of the

"Wlfat thing is this that, built of

And such dry motes as in the sun

However, it is not fair to drag sev
eral lines of poetry out of their con
text, but these are so typical of this
sonnet sequence that it is the thing
to do.

Another thing, some of the
couplets are absolutely detached
from the sonnet as an entity. The
continuity of thought, where there
was one, is abandoned for the sake j
of rhyming the last two lines. She

Sonnet XXIV is wild, wild, but
very rhythmical; it goes:
