Williams College. Office of the President.
The first Bible Examination was given to freshmen and sophomores on April 5, 1928. Students had protested for many years against mandatory daily chapel attendance with too few excused absences. Required Bible readings and examinations were introduced in 1927-1928 as a compromise for more chapel absences. Beginning in 1929, freshmen were assigned the New Testament and sophomores were assigned the Old Testament. Bible examinations were given for the last time in 1934. Faculty members sent copies of examinations for all courses to the President's Office each semester from 1930-1934.
