THE present arrangement of the hours for meals, especially at this season, is least suited to accommodate the majority. So long as we recognize a Tabular View, we shall have but two unoccupied hours throughout the day, and these hours, from two to four o'clock, though the best for out-door exercise, are still quite unavailable while we dine at one, for it must be injurious to pull an oar or swing a bat so soon after eating. To exercise later is to be on the river or at Jarvis at sunset, and this in October is far from healthy. Our athletic interests are greater than formerly, and are still on the increase. They certainly deserve consideration in the particular of which we are speaking. That the scholar also would be materially benefited by this change of hour, it is hardly necessary to add. "A full soul loatheth the honeycomb," and the honeycomb here is mental labor. It is a wonder that this truth is so hardly received among us.

We propose that all the students dine at six instead of one, at least for the next month. The plan merits a trial at least, and we strongly hope it will meet the approval of those in authority at Memorial Hall.
