It has been suggested to us that it would be well to follow up the idea expressed in the communication and editorial of Wednesday's issue in regard to the spring recess by a petition to be presented to the President and Fellows of the college. Accordingly we have taken it upon ourselves to place a blue-book containing a petition at Leavitt and Peirce's for the signatures of all those who are interested in the matter. For the benefit of those who did not see the communication and editorial referred to we would say that the proposed plan is for the college to petition the President and Fellows to change the beginning of the spring recess from the day before Fast Day to the Saturday before Easter Sunday, thus allowing us Easter Sunday and Easter week at home. We have heard so many men express a desire for the change that we have been encouraged to start the petition. The book will be kept at Leavitt and Peirce's until further notice, but everybody is urged to sign as soon as possible.
