    ABSTRACT:: The Stanford Computer Science Comprehensive Examination was
               conceived Spring Quarter 1971/72 and since then has been
               given winter and spring quarters each year. The 'Comp' serves
               several purposes in the department. There are no course
               requirements in the Ph.D. and the Ph.D. Minor programs, and
               only one (CS293, Computer Laboratory) in the Master's
               program. Therefore, the 'Comp' fulfills the breadth and depth
               requirements. The Ph.D. Minor and Master's student must pass
               at the Master's level to be eligible for the degree. For the
               Ph.D. student it serves as a "Rite of Passage"; the exam must
               be passed at the Ph.D. level by the end of six quarters of
               full-time study (excluding summers) for the student to
               continue in the program.

               This report is a collection of comprehensive examinations
               from Winter Quarter 1978/79 through Spring Quarter 1980/81.
