Firstly, thanks a lot to instructors who decide to have the final paper due the same day as the class final. It’s makes my life a whole lot easier……

Secondly, I find that is very peaceful walking on the Quad at 6AM in the early dawn light. You should try it sometime, preferably not after you’ve spent a night suffering.

Finally, a reader sends this along to us and while we’ve finished our current publication term, it is still worthy of mention. Unbeknownst to me or to other other people currently working here who weren’t even born when this was a tradition, but The Daily Illini used to publish an editorial at the beginning of each finals week dedicated to the misery of exams.

I shall not pass this way again.

A big thank you to Dave Nevers of Hinsdale, IL for sending us this clip from the May 31, 1972 edition of The Daily Illini.
