STATEMENT ON RECESS RULES MADE BY HANFORD

The following announcement regarding the Christmas recess, travel time, and the mid-year examinations was made to the Crimson by Dean A. C. Hanford.

The Christmas recess will begin on Sunday, December 23 and list through Wednesday, January 2. Every student not on the Dean's List is required to attend his last College exercise before and his first college exercise after the Christmas recess. By a recent vote of the Administrative Board, students, including Freshmen, whose November records average B or higher may, upon obtaining permission from their respective Assistant Deans, be allowed Dean's List privileges in regard to the extension of the Christmas recess. The notice appearing on Friday, December 14, that this latter privilege did not extend to Freshmen was the result of an office error.

Traveling time will be allowed those students in good standing whose homes are at a distance from Cambridge. Such students will be permitted to take the last train, which will get them home before noon on December 23, the first day of the recess. Students desiring traveling time must obtain permission from their respective Assistant Deans.

Attention is called to the fact that during the first Reading Period, which extends from January 3 to January 16, students are expected to be in Cambridge and are subject to the same rules and regulations as during the terms of formal teaching.

The schedule for the mid-year examinations, lasting from Thursday, January 17, through Saturday, February 2, will be issued next week.
