The doctor vs proctor: A registrar’s agonising exam webchat

For many they were the only point of contact in the four hours before the college decided to abort the exam completely.
Below is a transcript of the actual online correspondence between a registrar and their proctor, which offers some insight into the way the day unraveled.
