A special exhibition containing photostat copies of the most interesting letters written by Fincoln has been placed in the basement of the John Hay Fibrary during the month of February, and the entire collection is located permanently on the third floor. The nucleus for the present collection was originally owned by Mr. Charles W. McLellan.

From then until he died in 1918, he succeeded in getting most of the books and pamphlets that had been published.

In looking over those which were in the market, it was decided that the one made by McLellan was the best. He therefore bought it, had a room fitted up for it in the library and provided for adding new material to it. The collection came here just before commencement in 1923, and was first exhibited at that time."></div></div><div ID="DIVL114" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="3"><div ID="DIVL115" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="3" LABEL="The collection contains nearly all the known books and pamphlets on Lincoln; both his published works, and everything written about him. These extend from some of his speeches pub' lished before he was nominated for president, campaign lives published before he was elected, and funeral sermons delivered soon after he was assassinated, to the works published at the present time, such as Garl Sandburg s recent life, and speeches and addresses on Lincoln made during the last year. A second field in which the collection is rich is portraits. The McLellan collection contained many contemporary engravings as well as more recent prints. Since the collection was established a large number of fine etchings have been secured, and the Crane collection of Lincoln portraits which contained many rare and some unique items has been added. Another feature of the collection is the large number of Lincoln medals which it contains. Some of the medals were used as campaign souvenirs, some were struck to commemorate emancipation, others after his death were used as mourning badges. Ever since his time, Lincoln s head has been used on medals of various sorts; at expositions, at conventions, for prize essays, and for advertising, and at the time of the Lincoln centennial in 1909, many more were struck. The o r i g i nal collection contained many of these medals, and two important lots have since been added, so that now the collection of Lincoln medals is the third largest in the United States. Many notable letters written by Lincoln are included. The o r i g i nal collection contained about 150 letters, and a collection of 485 letters that were sent as telegrams has since been added. These are practically all in Lincoln s handwriting, but several were written by John Hay, his secretary. They were the gift, last fall, of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other alumni, and with the riches in the other groups, make it probably the finest single collection of Lincoln s letters in existence. Photostat copies of some of these letters may be seen during the month of February in the exhibition room of the John Hay. Library. Many were sent to different generals during the war, and these serve to illustrate some of the difficulties with which Lincoln had to contend. One group contains pardons and suspensions of sentences of death in the case of a number of prisoners. Another group is political, and still another illustrates the many side issues which claimed part of Lincoln s attention. The McLellan Lincoln collection occupies a room of its own on the third floor of the John Hay Library. Visitors are welcome. The books and other material are for the use of students. It is intended to have the best possible collection of working material on Lincoln that can be made, and one that must be consulted by all thorough scholars before they can complete any study on Lincoln."></div></div></div></div></div><div ID="DIVL116" TYPE="ARTICLE" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL117" TYPE="HEADING" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL118" TYPE="TITLE" ORDER="1" LABEL="IMPORTANT HERALD NOTICE"></div></div><div ID="DIVL119" TYPE="BODY" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL120" TYPE="BODY_CONTENT" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL121" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL122" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="1" LABEL="Freshmen desiring to enter the spring competition for the Business Department report in Room U of the Union Saturday at 1 o clock."></div></div></div></div></div><div ID="DIVL123" TYPE="ARTICLE" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL124" TYPE="HEADING" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL125" TYPE="TITLE" ORDER="1" LABEL=" VARSITY FIVE DRILLS FOR HARVARD CONTEST"></div><div ID="DIVL126" TYPE="SUBHEADLINE" ORDER="1" LABEL="DEFENSE EMPHASIZED Broda and Mishel, Both Members of 1927 Quintets, on Squad; No Ineligibilities Evident."></div></div><div ID="DIVL127" TYPE="BODY" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL128" TYPE="BODY_CONTENT" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL129" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="1"><div ID="DIVL130" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="1" LABEL="In preparation for the game with Harvard next Wednesday, the University basketball squad was given a long and strenuous workout in the gymnasium yesterday afternoon.

Some one has said that every human institution has to have its devil, and therefore universities have examinations. In the main, however, the tormentors in charge dislike the process almost as much as the victims, but are just as helpless. In small classes, where direct intellectual contact between the instructor and each student is established, examinations often can become more or less a matter of form; but with the large numbers of students flocking to universities to-day, classes almost unavoidably become large, and examinations then are virtually the only measure of the students  work available to the instructor. What type of examination is then likely to grade those who take it most objectively? Owing to the differences of matter and manner in various courses, no answer good for all cases can be given to this question. But there are many courses, or parts of courses, wbere tests of the  yes and. no  type, or of the multiple choice type, have great advantages, for instance where exact knowledge of definite facts is to be tested, or the capacity to solve definite problems, or the student s grasp of precise and important"></div></div><div ID="DIVL149" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="4"><div ID="DIVL150" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="4" LABEL="distinctions, and their bearings.

And the results of examinations of this type tend to coincide very closely with those of written examinations where the circumstances of the latter are such that confidence can be placed in their results. On the other hand gradings of the same written papers by different readers in large classes have more than once been shown to diverge widely, and thus to have very little objective significance. Some students, indeed, think that somehow their minds are not adapted to this type of examination; but barring cases of emotional excitement due to the novelty of.the process, students whose performance in such examinations is consistently lower than in the written exams are most likely to be  squids.  The squid, as we all know, is a little devil-fish which in time of danger squirts a cloud of ink at the enemy! Similarly, a facile pen, a legible hand, and the display of a knowledge of questions that the examiner might have asked, have been known to bewilder even a veteran reader by the time he reached the one hundred and nth blue book. Such the stuff that grades on written examinations are occasionally made of! But with the  yes and no  type, the last paper is judged by exactly the same standard as the first, and such unreliable things as impressions do not enter at all. The result is therefore wholly objective and just, and accurately compares the performances of the various members of the class.

The advantages are apparent, and the disadvantages are few. In the first place, this system enables the examiner to cover a much larger area in his field of study and gives the latter the opportunity of discovering with considerable accuracy the amount of knowledge that the student hasabsorbed. And through obtaining such information, a professor or instructor will be more able to ascertain what points in his course should receive the greatest stress' in order to convey the essentials of the course to average students. Another particularly important advantage which this system possesses is the fact that it puts all students on an equal basis, thereby discounting so-called  oilslingers,  those men who can write an examination with very little knowledge of the facts. Some students find it so difficult to express themselves in the length of time allowed that, although they really possess the necessary knowledge and facts, they often receive low or failing grades. The nervous tension, the hurry and worry of finishing an examination on time are not the best of conditions for clear and accurate thinking*. This system of examination gives a student ample time for thinking to the best of his ability. It is impossible for the corrector of examinations to be anything but impartial in correcting such examinations. General neatness of the paper, the fact that the paper is at the beginning or end of a large number, the physical and mental condition of the corrector are factors that are entirely eliminated. It is true that these factors are minimized as much as possible in written examination  in the  yes and no  type of examination, they are totally eliminated. Opponents of this system may �% say that a man should be able to think clearly, and write concisely and accurately under all conditions. True enough, but that is not the primary purpose of an examination. English composition courses are given for the express purpose of teaching people to write, and examinations are given in this course to test a student s composition ability. But that is not the purpose of a social science or geology course. Naturally, it is impossible to use such a system in every department ; but the institution of the  Yes and no  examinations system in many departments would prove beneficial to both students and faculty."></div></div></div></div></div><div ID="DIVL195" TYPE="ARTICLE" ORDER="2"><div ID="DIVL196" TYPE="HEADING" ORDER="2"><div ID="DIVL197" TYPE="TITLE" ORDER="2" LABEL="BULLETIN"></div></div><div ID="DIVL198" TYPE="BODY" ORDER="2"><div ID="DIVL199" TYPE="BODY_CONTENT" ORDER="2"><div ID="DIVL200" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="2"><div ID="DIVL201" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="2" LABEL="(Notices to the Herald must be in the hands of the Business Manager by 5 P.
