W‘ PROI •RS Editor, Ttie Battalion: There has been some discussion on professors and their quizzes in Th<i Battalion as of late, and l clifiped this bit of information out f the LIFE magazine which I thought was worth passing on.

Yet thC student is expected to enter anj examinatiort blind, while the professor, who has confined him self to one field, has all along re lied on his notes. He would "flunk” without them. ."3.
