"The principal of these Is probably the dispatch with which tne medical exams were com- pleted this year; since ten days instead of five were alloted for these tests, there was no conges tion wnaiever. Other changes initiated in the program this year concern th psychology tests and photograph ing. Every student entering the) university with less than junior ranic is required to take the psy chology quizz. Furthermore, all students, both freshmen and up perclassmen, are being compelled to nave ineir pictures taken.
