NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As examination time melancholia hits Junior and Senior Language concentrators this week, David Worcester '27, instructor in English, and of the Divisions of Ancient and Modern Languages throws a little light on the subject of "Bible, and Shakespeare, and Authors."

In the first place, candidates for the examinations who have not filed with the examination Committee a statement of their selection of Books of the Bible and plays of Shakespeare and their choice of authors should see Worcester immediately at 15 Holyoke House.

In the second place, the examinations are obligatory for students concentrating in Ancient or Modern Languages and must be taken this month by candidates for the degree of A.B. or S.B. in 1939 and candidates for the degree of A.B. or S.B. in 1938 who have not yet passed them.

Held in Memorial Hall, examinations deal tomorrow at from 2 to 3:30 o'clock with the Bible and from 3:45 to 5:15 with Shakespeare. On Wednesday, the tests take up Authors, except Homer and Sophocles, at 2 o'clock. Thursday sees knowledge of the author of the Illiad tested at from 2 to 3 o'clock, and of Sophocles from 3:15 to 4:15.
