...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...

The time allotted for breakfast would be shortened nearly one half, since, in order to reach chapel, one must get to breakfast at least as early as half past seven; and even then there would be no enjoyment of the meal, but a rapid shovelling process, alike disagreeable and detrimental...
...Crimson a few months ago, showed at length that the "lives" amount to little more than a farce. "Less than sixty per cent. of the class write anything at all," he wrote; and if this is the case with ordinary classes, what can we expect from Seventy-Seven? The class has been so much divided by the "unpleasantness " arising from this year's elections, that even the usual amount of class-feeling does not exist; accordingly less interest than ever before will be taken in any class work, and an undue proportion of "lives" must inevitably be lost. The plan...
