"April 14th, 1791. Henry W. Jones of H---- was expelled from College upon evidence of a little boy that he sent a stone into ye Philosopher's room while a committee of ye Corporation and Overseers, and all ye Immediate Government, were engaged in examination of ye Freshman Class." Although the examination was delayed for a day or two on account of these occurrences, it was again renewed and carried on during that year, although many attempts were made to stop it. For several years after, whenever these periods occurred, disturbances came with them, and it was not until the year 1797 that the differences between the officers and the students were satisfactorily adjusted, and examinations established on a sure basis. EXAMINE. To inquire into the improvements or qualifications of students, by interrogatories, proposing problems, or by hearing their recitals; as, to _examine_ the classes in college; to _examine_ the candidates for a degree, or for a license to preach or to practise in a profession.--_Webster_. EXAMINEE. One who is examined; one who undergoes at examination. What loads of cold beef and lobster vanish before the _examinees_. --_Bristed's Five Years in an Eng. Univ._, Ed. 2d, p. 72. EXAMINER. One who examines. In colleges and seminaries of learning, the person who interrogates the students, proposes questions for them to answer, and problems to solve. Coming forward with assumed carelessness, he threw towards us the formal reply of his _examiners_.--_Harvardiana_, Vol. III. p. 9. EXEAT. Latin; literally, _let him depart_. Leave of absence given to a student in the English universities.--_Webster_. The students who wish to go home apply for an "_Exeat_," which is a paper signed by the Tutor, Master, and Dean.--_Alma Mater_, Vol. I. p. 162. [At King's College], _exeats_, or permission to go down during term, were never granted but in cases of life and death.--_Bristed's Five Years in an Eng. Univ._, Ed. 2d, p. 140. EXERCISE. A task or lesson; that which is appointed for one to perform. In colleges, all the literary duties are called _exercises_. It may be inquired, whether a great part of the _exercises_ be not at best but serious follies.--_Cotton Mather's Suggestions_, in _Quincy's Hist. Harv. Univ._, Vol. I. p. 558. In the English universities, certain exercises, as acts, opponencies, &c., are required to be performed for particular degrees. EXHIBIT. To take part in an exhibition; to speak in public at an exhibition or commencement. No student who shall receive any appointment to _exhibit_ before the class, the College, or the public, shall give any treat or entertainment to his class, or any part thereof, for or on account of those appointments.--_Laws Yale Coll._, 1837, p. 29. If any student shall fail to perform the exercise assigned him, or shall _exhibit_ anything not allowed by the Faculty, he may be sent home.--_Ibid._, 1837, p. 16.
