Inasmuch as so many of the courses which the intellectually inclined are wont to attend, occur betimes of a morning, in fact somewhere in the vicinity of 9 o'clock, to attend them makes it necessary to be an early riser. And here we strike a definite snag. The most important requisite to an early rising is fine weather. The urge to lie abed is considerably overcome by an overcast sky.

From this it follows in relatively logical fashion that if the present state of conditions climatic persists much longer, we shall not only miss those courses we are and have been in hopes of attending, but may even sleep through an impending examination. As soon, however, as the spring sun gets back to its habits of yore, and the weather man recollects that it is no longer April, but close to the end of May, we shall once more be hot on the trail of an early morning education.

From this it may deduced that it is not only from those athletically inclined that prayers for a beaming sun, a dry sod or a smooth river surge forth, but equally from those to whom a flash of sunlight against closed lid means a 9 o'clock achieved, whereas a cloudy sky means rest undisturbed until much later hours.
