The well established final examination terw
minating the majority of Illinois chh’s courses
has finally enveloped the eighth term student.

This circumstance can be attributed to the
weakness of advanced students to a condition
we label “Eighthtcrmism.” it is not a synonym
for an overdose of social activity, for spring
fever or its like, but is a state in which a
student tries to complete his college career by
figuratively “swimming with the tide with, his
head just above water.” in other words, it is
the custom of many students to loaf during
their last term with discredit to themselves, to
their instructors and to our institute. The final
222222222122 for eight termers have been inaugurated
to avoid this difficulty.

Finals for graduating seniors have been
considered for a long time, but the tight sched—
ules ncvci' afforded the time, especially when
the Navy V~12 was here, but now they ate
incoworatcd in school policy mostly because of
the aforesaid reasons. commented Dean. of
Engineering, James C. Pceblcs. it is hoped that
fewer students will now bask in the sunshine
and gloi'y of their first seven terms and work
instead to achieve a crowning triumph upon
receipt of their diploma.

There are some subordinate procedures that
will he followed in enforcing this new policy.
For example, the instructors of eighth term
subjects must, if they choose to give finals at
all, schedule them earlier than the regular ex—
ams (For this term they will be taken before
June ”2th which is the date of the Senior? hatc-
well). On the othec hand, seniors enroll led iii
freshman, sophomore or junior sobiccts will
be required to take finals at the regulai' sched-
uled time unless their grades warrant 2m excus c
by the instructor fiom taking the exam.

it is granted that students are usually the
busiest during their last term. Some take part
in so many organizations that they must keep
all meeting time duly recon (led i022: fear they
