IMMEDIATELY before the recess, certain public-spirited individuals circulated petitions requesting the Faculty to change the time of prayers to an hour earlier. The petitions were signed by something less than half the men in college, and we believe it was considered useless to present them to the Faculty. Prayers will remain, therefore, as at present. We discussed in our last issue the inconveniences which would attend the plan of having breakfast before prayers. It seems, however, that the men who are anxious to rise with the lark are very much in earnest; this is particularly the case with law students, some of whom have threatened to leave the Association unless a change is made. Accordingly, the Directors, at their last meeting, voted to have breakfast begin at seven, and to have the doors remain open until half past eight, hoping thus to accommodate both the early and the late risers. The plan was adopted, however, subject to the steward's approval, and as the steward objects to having the doors open for more than an hour, it cannot go into operation. It is now proposed to have breakfast from a quarter past seven to a quarter past eight. By this arrangement, it is claimed, everybody will be satisfied. The steward will not be obliged to prolong the time of breakfast; the diligent can get their morning repast reasonably early; and those who go to prayers can obtain admittance to the hall after that exercise. This plan will probably be adopted and go into effect next week.
