Coe College Cosmos: Final Exams 1949

"The English Department has decided on a very small exam: 32 essay questions. Each essay counts 3.125 points"

"The Philosophy Department has only one question: Discuss fully all phases of mankind 10000 B.C. to the present."

"--just conjugate each verb we've had so far, in all tenses, and write a history of the World War in French."

"Hold on here. Let's give this lad a practical exam.  He needs your subjects like he needs a hole in the head!"

Coe College Cosmos, January 19, 1949.

Finals Time Stress Break: Massages at the library!

Back due to popular demand, the library will once again be sponsoring massages for students to help them de-stress in the time leading up to final exams.  Massages will be FREE to any current Coe College student that signs up, though we do have a limited number of massages available.  Students from LaJames will be providing chair massages in the Perrine Gallery from 10:30 AM-4:00 PM on Friday, April 27th.  As stated, the massages will be free of cost to current Coe students and last for 10 minutes.  Students need to arrive at the library and check in with the masseurs 5 minutes prior to their massage, or the time slot will be made available to any student that was unable to schedule a massage at another time.  We will also have a limited amount of table massages available, also for 10 minutes, in the library classroom.  Sign-ups will begin tomorrow, April 24th, at 8:30 AM in the reference department office and will go on until all slots are taken.  If you have any questions, please inquire with Katelyn or Harlene in the reference office.  Good luck during finals week, everyone!
