Abstract
EXAMINATIONS involve courses, and these necessitate text-books, so that the diligent student may imbibe just so much of a particular subject as will enable him or her to pass and no more—all most satisfactory for the student but a disaster from the point of view of the acquisition of real culture and of the knowledge how to learn. However, the sin is that of the senate and the framers of a syllabus, and must not be visited on the humble writers of text-books.
