Friday, September 19, 1919

Overcast but no rain. Up 7:15 A.M. To college to register. To library. Studied etc. Took condition exam in 2nd term English at 7: P.M. Home. To bed 10:45 P.M. Thankful for education.

I haven't been able to find out exactly what a condition exam was in 1919, but it seems to have been some sort of exam to either test out of or place into a course you were scheduled to take that term.  I found some contemporaneous examples in newspapers where the term was used, suggesting that it was meant to test how well you knew a subject.
