This reading was accompanied by outbursts of sympathy on the part of the House Faculty. lt was moved and seconded to grant the petition. The Assistant Professor of History thought it would be jolly if that day were spent by the students in the study of facts of prime importance in American history, the fac- ulty holding themselves in readiness to answer all questions, and he offered to contribute printed slips for questions and answers as his share in raising the intelligence of the student body. This suggestion was opposed, for reasons which members, with the exception of the Professor of Philosophy, refused to state. She explained her grounds of opposition to be as follows: According to the newly adopted method of celebrating the twenty-second of February three requirements are made of the Faculty, for which the ordinary routine of their existence totally units them,-they are required to think, to work, and to dress for dinner. After extraordinary exertions of this kind, however useless, it is psychologically impossible, without a day of abso- lute rest, for the mind to regain the necessary balance and calm to be able to present any subject as it should be presented. The Professor of Physics opposed this position because, firstly, he thought a day of rest would not conduce to that mental and moral discipline which is the true meaning of a college course, secondly, not living in the college he found himself unaffected by the considerations of the Professor of Philosophy, and thirdly, he had not understood that any such requirements had ever been made of the Faculty. The Dean said that while the objections of the Professor of Physics seemed to her valid, she was obliged to consider the health of the students. Further arguments in favor of the petition were as' follows: The Professor of Biology remarked that, if the children really desired the additional holiday, she wished them to have it, and the Professor of French added that it was necessary. as far as she personally was concerned, a day being barely suflicient for her to recover from the unusual exertion of being present and on ,time at one meal. The vote was then called for, but before putting the motion the President remarked that he was in favor of the measure since he would be able to arrange for at least two extra lectures on that day. The motion was lost and the meeting then adjourned. Signed: A CHIELD AMANG YE. 145
