Now that Fast Day has practically been abolished by the governor, there is some possibility that our spring recess may be changed to a later date. According to the regulations the spring recess begins the Wednesday before Fast Day, but, if the governor's recommendation is followed, the nineteenth of April will be substituted for that holiday. This recommendation is now being considered by the legislature and should a bill be passed to that effect, certain of the college authorities desire to postpone our recess to that time. This matter, however, has been left to the Overseers, as it does not come in the jurisdiction of the faculty.

It is to be hoped, however, that this change will not be made. The sentiment of the college, so far as can be discovered seems to be against it. Many men have made arrangements to go away at the usual time of the recess and a change in the date, in some cases, will seriously affect their plans. Moreover, the manager of the nine has arranged many of the dates of the spring games, and if this change is made at this late date it will wholly upset his schedule, and shorten the base ball season in addition. In many ways this meditated change of the April recess will be very unwelcome to the college and it is to be hoped that it will not be made.
