boon on the students by appointing an earlier day than usual 
for the first examination ; or, the object sought might be at- 
tained by shortening the time intervening between the days 
selected for the purpose. 
Many young men are not so wealthy as to be able to re- 
main in London two or three weeks, even, after the conclu- 
sion of the session, without pecuniary assistance, which is, to 
say the least, inconvenient. 
Others are detained here in anxious, painful suspense. 
And some may be prevented from fulfilling engagements 
entered into under the supposition that they would be exa- 
mined at the end of the term ; these, also, are thus subjected 
to pecuniary loss. 
I imagine it can matter little to the Council, whether this 
business be finished early or late ; but I think you will agree 
wfith me, that it is, to many a student, a very serious affair. 
Trusting this communication may have the desired effect,

Your most obedient Servant,
