It is this group that is responsible for the wording of the statements. Each of these bulletins re(Iiiii-es hours of careful preparation in order that all the information may be iniparted in a clear and concise form. The btilletins thas carefully prepared are posted on an official Service Bulletin Board opposite the Information office, ,in(] are published in a conspicuous place in The 'fech. Thus the work of this representative Joint Committee is of the most iiitlientic'nature, and the "hist word" on the subject in hand, and all information is presented in the best posible manner.

CLASS DAY
C
LASS DAY this year whill require support from every Senior who completes his term at the Institute. Tradition has made it an essential function of Technology life as well as that of other colleges, and the disorganization caused by war should not be extended to the point of dropping Class Day activities. The program has been curtailed, due to war conditions; but it is the duty of Seniors, insofar as possible, to subscribe, attend and mak~e Class Day the representative and mnomentous affair which Technology will always consider it. THREE WEEKS TO EXAMINATIONS rHERE seems to be a prevalent notion, and a wrong, one, about tile Institute, to the effect that dute to the war crisis, the final exams, only three weeks awfay, are to be of the kindergarden variety. Yet no Professor has signfied his intention of countenancing su~ch an innovation. This is much like the other Ilotioil
that all
one has to do to pass this year, is to join the
army at once to b~e provided with special concessions for those
who fail to pass their
courses
regularly. Despite the present
condition of affairs, it is highly probable that the exams wvill be as hard as ever, if not even more difficult. It is, therefore, the duity of The Tech to remind its readers, and especially those guilty of neglect of wtork, to make their final spurt and effort for the exams now. The prepared student need not worry or cram, but it is hoped that the delinquents will take this warning by starting their reviewing now-immediately- as the time for making tip is waning fast. W~ith the failure of the. British to stifle the reports of U-boat activities, the gravity of the submarine peril is being realized boy -ate Americans. It is gratifying, to hear that some of our own Institute men are workiing on dev ices to combat the deadly tindlersea craft.

CLASS DAY
C
LASS DAY this year whill require support from every Senior who completes his term at the Institute. Tradition has made it an essential function of Technology life as well as that of other colleges, and the disorganization caused by war should not be extended to the point of dropping Class Day activities. The program has been curtailed, due to war conditions; but it is the duty of Seniors, insofar as possible, to subscribe, attend and mak~e Class Day the representative and mnomentous affair which Technology will always consider it. THREE WEEKS TO EXAMINATIONS rHERE seems to be a prevalent notion, and a wrong, one, about tile Institute, to the effect that dute to the war crisis, the final exams, only three weeks awfay, are to be of the kindergarden variety. Yet no Professor has signfied his intention of countenancing su~ch an innovation. This is much like the other Ilotioil
that all
one has to do to pass this year, is to join the
army at once to b~e provided with special concessions for those
who fail to pass their
courses
regularly. Despite the present
condition of affairs, it is highly probable that the exams wvill be as hard as ever, if not even more difficult. It is, therefore, the duity of The Tech to remind its readers, and especially those guilty of neglect of wtork, to make their final spurt and effort for the exams now. The prepared student need not worry or cram, but it is hoped that the delinquents will take this warning by starting their reviewing now-immediately- as the time for making tip is waning fast. W~ith the failure of the. British to stifle the reports of U-boat activities, the gravity of the submarine peril is being realized boy -ate Americans. It is gratifying, to hear that some of our own Institute men are workiing on dev ices to combat the deadly tindlersea craft.
