1920 HAS FIRST CHANCE AT ORALS.

All students in Harvard College except those who entered before 1910 must pass, before the end of their second year, a special examination to test their power of translating either French or German.

Opportunity to take either or both of these examinations will be given in the afternoons, beginning Monday, October 2.

All candidates who wish to take the oral examination must notify the Recorder, 4 University Hall, in writing on or before Thursday, September 28. Each candidate will then be notified when and where to present himself for the oral examination.

Other chances to take the examination will be given at the time of the mid-year and final examinations. According to the rules in the University Catalogue. "A student who, by the end of his second year, has not passed this oral examination is thereby placed on probation.

"A student who at the beginning of the second half of his second year has twice tried an oral examination, may, during that half-year receive instruction in a tutorial course in the language in which he intends to offer himself for examination (which course will not count toward a degree). On completing this course he shall, before incurring the censure of probation for failure to pass an oral examination by the end of his second year, have one opportunity to present himself for a written examination in translation, on passing which examination he shall be relieved from the prescription of an oral examination.

"(A student who is irregular in attendance or remiss in his work in the course thereby forfeits his right to take a written examination)."
