...possibility and a highly feasible one which has often been propounded would be to omit Columbus day and Patriot's day from the college calendar and move them into the hiatus between Thanksgiving day and the succeeding weekend. This would make a pleasant four day vacation of some worth to anyone who lived within a few hundred miles of Cambridge. Today it is the practice followed almost universally at schools and colleges throughout the country. In the West and Middle West Columbus day is not so much as given a passing thought and Patriot's day is an unheard...

...less vehement was Rev. Dr. Clarence Edward Noble Macartney of Pittsburgh, leading Presbyterian conservative. To suggestions (mostly by liberals) that Assembly money could better be spent on good works at home, he replied with fine Scotch logic that the only legal way to omit the Assembly would be to have it meet in full special session, decide that it should not be held. Added he: "What a year for the Assembly! Think of the witness we can make! There is the pagan Laymen's Missionary Report, and our own board's answer to it, with no ringing word...
