AN HUMBLE WARNING.

Just at this time every year, the undergraduate feels that he is entitled to a breathing spell as far as his academic work is concerned. Hour examinations are over, and there is a general sentiment that no more really strenuous study is required until after the Christmas vacation. Mid-year examinations at present are likely to appear very distant and unimportant to the work of tomorrow and next week.

Let the men whose view is that outlined above, bear in mind that there is less than a month between the end of vacation and the first examinations. Between the present and vacation six weeks intervene, and if the work of this period is not kept up conscientiously, the time after the recess will be found all too short to make up for past work neglected. In brief, men should realize that the vacation actually brings the examinations ten days nearer than the calendar indicates. After the recess, an immediate resumption of hard study is difficult. A moderate degree of industry now will save much worry and sleep in January, and at the same time insure better marks.
