As a result of the agitation of the "Spring Vacation" question, we have received several articles on the subject which, although we cannot publish, deserve some notice. However the majority of the students may incline, we believe it is improbable that any change will be made during the present year, but a free discussion may have results in coming years.

Our correspondents take what they suppose to be the minority side of the question, and present arguments in opposition to the proposed vacation. We transcribe a few of the leading ones, disclaiming any responsibility for their value. It is argued that the alleged need of rest to the "hard-working undergraduate" is overestimated, and that even if true of some, they are a small minority of the whole number. That the advantages of a vacation would not benefit the large number who spend their Saturdays and Sundays at home, nor those who live at a great distance. To these latter it would even be an expense and an inconvenience. The time of year proposed is that characterized by east winds, mud, and all the inclemencies of weather, and the time thus taken would have to be deducted from the beautiful month of September. It is also claimed that any abridgment of the Summer vacation would be a serious loss to the many who devote it to travel in Europe, or in our own country, Such are the views of what, it is claimed, is at least a large minority of the students. The arguments on the other side, are, we believe, fully set forth in the petitions now circulating among the students, and the question as far as they are concerned is likely to be soon settled.
