SPECIAL MID-YEAR EXAMS ADVANCED TO NEXT WEEK.

Announcement was made yesterday afternoon that the special set of mid-year examinations for students leaving College to enter military service will be held from December 18, to December 24, instead of from December 26 to January 2, as previously announced. Every effort is being made, moreover, to allow students living at a distance to leave Cambridge in time to be home on Christmas Day, although such an action is not certain and the details have not yet bee n arranged.

On Tuesday evening, December 18, the special examination in Military Science 1 and 2 will take place, and there will be two sets of examinations each on December 19, 20, 21, 22 and 24. The exact details of the schedule will probably be given out some time today.
