It was the last day of the
final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building,
a group of students were talking about the exam 36 to
begin in a few minutes. On their faces was 37 .This
was their last exam—then
on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others
talked of jobs they would get. With the certainty of four years of college,
they felt 38 and able to take 39 of
the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)
40 task, as the professor had said they could
bring either books or notes they wanted, requesting, only 41 that they did not talk to each other
during the test.
42 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the
papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they 43

Three hours had passed before the professor
began to 44 the papers. The students no longer looked

exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want you to 50
you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there
are still many things about the 51 you don’t know.
These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively common in everyday
52 .” Then smiling, he 53 , “You will all
pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your
education has just 54 .”
The years have 55 the
name of the professor, but not the lesson he taught.
