EXAMINATION AN API
Th." Atlantic Monthly for J;,nj..r; .
contains an interesting article Vy Dr.
A. Lawrence Lowell, president o'
Harvard Uni-ersity, entitled "Th.
AH of Examination." sclent I
I.owel' defends the mucli-ii'M .(',!
examination, not necessarily as it j
is, but as it should be. Examina-I
tions, he declares, have th" c dis- j
tinct objects: (1) to measure 'iMej
progress of pupils; (2) as n iirect
means of education; (o) to sot n.
standard for achievement.
One of the chief faults of exanii I
nations, he thirks, comes from pay-1
ing almost exclusive attention to the'
first of the objects. "There is a ten
dency in some Am. .iran sclools to
regard examinations as indictments
fur crime ordeals to be imposed
only upon the delinquent," he says.
Anent studying simply to pass: "The
popular impression of studying for
marks is that a student whose pri
mary object is a high grade devotes
himself assiduously to memorising
small, and comparitively unimport
ant, points in a course, and thereby
makes a better showing than a class
mate with greater natural ability
and perhaps a larger real command
of the subject But if all ex
aminations were so conducted as to
be an accurate and complete meas
ure of the education the course is
intended to give, if the questions
were so framed that mere diligence
without a high degree of capacity
would not earn the highest grade,
then there would be no reason why
the student should not work for the
marks, and good reasons why he
should." Cramming, says Dr. Low- j mwiiinence out lor a retentive mem

Examinations may be used as a

clares, for there is value in the "per

Architect's Drawing Of Northwestern9 s Proposed Stadium
EVANSTON, 111., January 7, 1926.
Northwestern University is plan
ning to break the first ground for its
proposed new athletic rtjaefcium! as
early in the spring as the weather
will permit. Work will then proceed
rapidly and it is confidently believed
that the initial structure of two decks
with 49,000 permanent seats will be
completed by the opening of the
football season in the fall.
The Purple stadium is planned as
a three decker and is so shown in
the photograph, but due to the rigid
zon" ordinance in the City of Ev
ansW. only two decks, eighty feet
in height, will be constructed at this
time. The third deck will be added,
with the consent of the Evanston city
fathers, when the need is acute. The
three-decker, however, is the stadium
as planned by Jimes Gamble Rogers
New York architect and Gavin
Haddon, stadium engineer. When
entirely finished the structure will
e 125 feet high, with ft total seat
ii if capacity, including end seats, of
jl.out 75,000. Next fall, when the

plementary processes, and each
should be (riven the attention and
time thnt experience proves to be
wise."
Most important of nil, in President
Lowell's opinion, is the third object,
to set a standard for achievement.
"To be proficient in anything a man
must have a standard and occasion
ally measure himself thereby
Now in education such a standard
can be set by examination, and, in
fact, whether so designed or not, ex
aminations regularly taken nt the
close of a period of study inevitably
do set a standard for the character
an(j extent of the work done, both
!for the students and for the in
structors. "To make a good examination pa
per," the article concludes, "is far
more difficult than is commonly
supposed. To do so requires much
time and thought; but upon no part
of the educational process can time
and thought be better spent."
President Lowell's article contains
I much good common sense; it has.
j however, this defect it offers notn-

tions for making examination papers

(would be of more value than those
which inquire into small and unim
portant details, but unfortunately,
there are many instructors who can
ji ot or do not prepare such a paper,
i Furthermore, examinations vary
! greatly; one instructor will ask for a
I general review of some phase of the
subject, another for a
detail that
is of slight importance.

an instructor will ask, and the stu
dent is supposed to be able to set
them down, neatly and in their pro
per order. Another instructor will
ask "What is the crisis in this play?"
and if the student's opinion differs
from the instructors he is wrong.
One student recently voiced this
i lament: "Some day I fully expect to
be asked what color of toga Julius
! Caesar wore when he was assassi
nated or on what blocks of ice Wash
ington slipped in crossing the Dela
ware." A student at the University of
Kansas who was elected to Thi Beta
Kappa declined, and in his letter to
the organization he stated that under
the grading system in vogue he felt
that marks were not an accurate in
dication of effort or intelligence.
Such a condition is not due to the
examination system, which is right
in principle, but to the giving of ab
surd examinations which call not for

in which event temporary end seats
to accommodate at least 6,000 will
be erected.
The plans of the completed plant
not only includes three decks but
permanent seats at the south end
of the field to accommodate 8,500
and a place for temporary stands
to scat 6,000. Thus the final seat
ing capacity of the plant will be as
follows: 40,000 on the two sides of
the first deck; 9,000 on the sides of
the second deck; 11,000 on the sides
of the third deck; 6,000 first deck
end scats; 2,500 scats, second deck
end seats, with provisions for 6,0 10
temporary seats at the north end.
The stadium will be erected on the
present Central street site in Evan
ston and will be reached by automo
bile, street cars, elevated trains and
steam railroad, probably the most
accessible football plant in America.
Another feature which will at
tract public approval will be the un
usual accommodations for entering
the decks and the small number of
seats subject to vision interruption
by columns. Messrs. Rogers and
Haddan perfected these features af
ter studj'ing every big football plant
