Prafessors Differ
On Finals Ruling
Be kley, C1lif., arch 26.-Finpal ex-
aminatipns as they are now given are
a waste of time in the opinion of
Prof. E. C. Voorkies of the ggricul-
ture department. "I think that if the
so-called finals "were given in a lec-
ture hour on the salient points of a
course, and the classes were continued
during the usual examination period
the students would get more out of
the courses," he said. "They would
not consider the abolition of finals
as a joke and would do more con-
sistent work throughout the term."
Berkley, Calif., March 26.--The size
of the University demands that we
have final examinations," said Prof.
F. C. Palm, of the history department
of the University of California. Pro-
fessor Palm explained that in a uni-
versity of this sie where there are so
many students enrolled in a lecture
course it is not possible for the proper
number of discussions and tests.
