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...
...have to admit that a Monday holiday would not have been as ideal as at first it seemed. The work normally done then would merely have been shunted onto the other five days and we should have gained nothing. As far as saving fuel is concerned the Monday-vacation scheme would have been of no avail. The Yard, as we understand, is heated by excess steam from the Cambridge Power Plant, which would have to keep open anyway. We would have saved nothing there.

Suddenness intensifies the radicalism or the more, made, apparently, in a desperate attempt to wipe out the ever-increasing fuel difficulties.

The stand taken in regard to the Junior Dance will probably...
