Monday, April 3, 1911: One day is passed of the dreaded three, and they will soon be over, for we are having our final exams now. I’m so anxious about what I will make, fraid it won’t be any too high, and sincerely hope it will not be the opposite.

Her middle-aged granddaughter’s comments 100 years later:

My daughter replied, “Final exams are stressful!”

Some things never change.
