THE change in the breakfast-hour at Memorial is a signal for the growler to open his lips again. He has importuned us with his complaints every day since the announcement of the change, and has asked us to write an editorial on the subject. He has brought forward all the arguments used of old against such change, and he insists most vehemently on the point that, to force a man to get up and breakfast between the hours of a quarter past seven and half past eight, is manifestly a return to those barbarous customs which he, for one, has always thought it his duty to oppose. Undoubtedly to one accustomed, as he has always been, to Eastern luxury, there is something particularly barbaric in an early breakfast; but he must remember that we, unlike him, have been brought up under those strictly Puritan influences which frown down late rising in holy horror. The change is certainly desired by a large majority of those students who board at Memorial. Mr. Growler, if not satisfied, will find the "Holly Tree" open all day.
