—Friday afternoons—Youthful Patrick Henrys de- 1449 claimed “Give me liberty” and spelling champions up- held their reputations in matches to the pleasure and edification of visiting parents, friends, and members of the Board of Visitors. These oratorical contests and spelling bees were the only extra- curricular activities that relieved the weekly grind. Students came to study—studied—went home—that’s all. No student government developed a sense of responsibility; no clubs offered opportunities to make friends, learn, and have fun at the same time. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” was Nort the idea in 1849.
