Monday May 9th 1932

To the Technical College for Advanced English exam. The college was a huge place; I nearly Got lost. The questions were: 'Character Sketch of a typical Englishman', essay; 'Kent's devotion to Lear'; 'Why Nelson was a great Admiral' (Southey); 'The Bishop and Mrs Proudie' (Trollope); and an analysis of 'The River' (Masefield). I did not get the last finished but feel that I passed, although not highly. I got a second class pass, in fact.
