CHRISTMAS VACATION

The rules which govern the Christmas recess this year are very clear; but they need emphasis. Everyone must understand that the vacation will have a clean-cut beginning and end. It will begin when a man's last class on the twentieth is over and he has registered, and will end when his first class on the fifth begins. There will be no added allowance for travel. Nothing could be clearer than this, and yet there probably will be a hundred men with courage to ask for more time. Men who intend to make this demand should remember that the College is run for its work and not for its vacations. Therefore, it is its work which should stop and start evenly; its vacations. Therefore, it is its work which should stop and start evenly; its vacations should bear the ragged ends. This is the ideal which the Office had in mind in granting an experimental vacation which should be of sufficient length to include time for travel. We can, with honor, only follow the rules.
