SPECIMEN BRICKS.

THE Editors of the Crimson submit a few specimen examination-papers (or, as our Playful Editor calls them, ex-animation papers), which it is hoped will convey to outsiders an idea, though an inadequate one, of our sufferings during the past two weeks.

The first one was set to our Annexed Sisters. The course in which it occurs is a new one in college electives.

FLIRTATION 3.A.Simple Coyness.

1. Are all coy girls simple ? How so ?

2. Are all simple girls coy ? Why this thusness ?

3. "Coquet and coy at once her air;

Both studied, though both seem neglected;

Careless she is with artful care,

Affecting to seem unaffected."

Author of these verses ? Is the character described a good model ? If so, why not ?

4. How far are coyness and a decollete dress compatible ?

5. How old is the American coynage ? and how far does it coyncide with the development of a sterling character?

B.Elementary Flirtation.

1. What is a mash ? What is a brandy's mash ?

2. Where is Mt. Desert ? How does the previous question suggest this one ?

3. If a male creature steals a kiss, do you try to make him give it back ? or do you "turn the other cheek"?

4. Give reasons for calling flirtation "the art of self-defence."

c.Advanced Fascination.

1. "A man's arm is like the Bible because it makes glad the waste places." Of course-it is. Explain both allusions.

2. Give a sketch of your last campaign, with number of scalps taken, diagrams of things in general, and maps of the advances made on both sides.

3. What color is your hair? Is your motto "Never say dye"?

4. Which do you think the better method in cases of obstinate resistance, the Proudly-superior, or the Humbly-pleading?

5. Is Worth your wile, or are your dresses (and men's addresses to you) made in Boston ?

6. Do you think Holworthy window-seats on Class-Day evening, or moonlit rocks by the sad sea waves the better opportunity ?

(This question will be repeated in the autumn in order to discover if after-experience has changed your views.)

Exclamation-points and words underscored will affect your mark.
