Suppose 1,500 students go to bed an hour earlier. This is probably more than would do so for some time after the institution of the scheme...

We admit that habits are a difficult thing to change, but we rather rely on the inherent rationality of man. There are 1,681 undergraduates in College. If only half of them realized that to get up an hour earlier and do good work meant getting to bed an hour earlier, this would mean the saving of 840 hours...
...hear. By all means let us have serious discussion, since it is a question for the undergraduates to decide before the Faculty takes any action on it. The plan will not interfere with preparation for the coming mid-years, since even if it is favorably received, it will not go into effect before the new term...
There are several reasons that this shift in the working hours of the University be made. Primarily, of course, it will economize coal; the eventual result will be for all undergraduates to get up and go to bed an hour earlier, and thereby to substitute an hour of inexpensive sunlight for expensive kilowatts and calories. Then, too, if Mr. Storrow's program is followed there will be fewer reasons for late hours than formerly--and "early to bed and late to rise" would surely be an ill advised principle, although the fuel administration may seem to advocate...

The football team has shown that informal athletics can flourish; it is now absolutely imperative that rowing live up to its gridiron predecessor...
