The Thanksgiving recess will make break of day and half, starting at 1.20 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and two weeks later the term will come to close with the half year eXaminatioiis It will be the last year of the old system of three terms a year that Yale has clung to for so long, as next year the semester schedule will go into effect and the examinations will be held after Christmas instead of before.
