Our Exam

In the interests of developing time-saving devices for professors, so that additional hours might be freed for publishing or perishing as the case may be; and in response to the growing pressures on the American educational jungle for standardization; the CRIMSON suggests that the following be adopted as the Early November Hour Exam in all courses:

1--Compare and contrast Plato and Jane Austen.

2--Trace the development of social legislation (power structure, Classical economic theory, facial portraiture, chordates) in any two (2) of the four (4) countries we have studied.

3--Identify briefly:

a) The Industrial Revolution

b) God

c) Isogyres

d) Alexis de Tocqueville

e) Your section man

4--Summarize and evaluate, giving specific textual references, a book you read this summer. Be sure to include author and title. Make clear its relation to this course, to the literature of the period, to the movie. Show how its theme is reinforced by its structure.

5--"I love my mother."--Oedipus.

Discuss the above quotation fully, indicating whether or not you agree.

6--Where, in your opinion, did this course fail?
