over bethlehem's hills by e warren bowden most college students have a mild form of scurvy if this is surprising to you consider this fact one of the first symp toms of this slow maturing disease is fatigue possibly this may ac count for some of the peaceful sleeping which is quite prevalent in economics lectures chemistry lectures c.e classes or anywhere at any time throughout the school are you guilty of this dractice here is a way that it may be overcome according to elsie m troeger directress of the dining service the best way to keep your self protected from scurvy and its symptom is to get plenty of vita min c in your diet one of the best sources of this vitamin is or ange juice and miss troeger ac knowledges that less than 50 ot the students eating in lamber ton take any kind of fruit for breakfast actually said miss troeger many students miss the beneficial qualities of breakfast en tirely by staying in bed another good source of vitamin c is tomato juice and that too does not receive the proper atten tion we must become conscious of what we eat and not let nutri tional deficiencies get the best of us was miss troeger's advice vitamin b for brain power brain power or what has been termed that is largely the responsibility of vitamin b which also controls the whole toning up of the body acting as a catalyst if you eat sturdy whole wheat bread and not the customary white at least one egg a day and fresh vegtables including green ones , you ought to get a sufficien cy of that vitamin the deep sea fish which is pol itely refused is necessary because it contains iodine and iodine is necessary to give your mind that certain lift which you hope will give you an inspiration to finally prove the answer in the book is actually wrong if all students ate correctly you would be surprised at the big difference and the wide awake spirit commented miss troeger war note economy to mark junior prom faculty releases publications list night classes will be held next

aminations in packard laboratory the examination will be held from 8 to 12 noon and from 2 to 4 p.m all students taking it are excused from classes the examination consists of practical questions in chemistry mathematics mechanics physics gas laws electricity and units it is compiled by a committee of which charles w simmons pro fessor of chemical engineering is the head from questions contribut ed by instructors of the various en gineering departments the papers are graded with the help of pre pared forms the grades are com piled together with the relative standing of all students to be used by the heads of the curricula in which the individual students are enrolled lehigh was the first university to conduct an examination of this sort with two exceptions the test has been given to every sophomore class since 1928 its purpose is to eliminate those students who have been lagging behind and to introduce a uniform system for admission into the junior class the idea is approximately the same as that of admissions exam inations for freshmen lehigh was pioneer since lehigh was a pioneer in the use of this type of examination which is officially called sopho more general engineering apti tude test much research and sta tistical work had to be done by the committee in charge of the exam ination most important is the fact that each year approximately five percent of those taking the test are advised to leave lehigh statistics are employed also to improve the efficiency of the ex amination questions on which the lower group of students received half credit were regarded too easy types of questions on which the top students received only half credit were eliminated from sub sequent tests any type of ques tion which did not show a differ ence of 30 points between the low est and highest group of students was regarded as insignificant and was also eliminated the true significance of the ex amination is brought out by the fact that 93 per cent of those stu dents having a lower than 1.5 av erage in their first four semesters and classified in the lowest fifth of those taking the test do not graduate with their classes unless they attend summer school welding featured
