EXAMINING THE EXAMINERS

[To the Editor of TUE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—I am sorry to find a slip in my letter to you of last .week, for which I am entirely responsible, and which was due to pure accident. In my letter I said " Examiners L and M agree on paper pretty closely about class limits expressed in terms of grades," and then went on to discuss the actual classes and grades awarded by Examiners A and C to four scripts, in regard to two of which they agreed completely, while they disagreed violently about the other two. My letter should have read " Examiners A and C agree on paper pretty closely," &e.—With apologies, I am, yours faithfully, P. J. HARTOG. 1 Plowden Buildings, Temple, London, E.C. 4.
