Propose Change Date
Ivy Week at Bowdoin

Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Jan.
1G-At a faculty meeting at Bowdoin
college yesterday afternoon several
items of interest were discussed.
The faculty considered changing the
date of Ivy house party to time
either longer before the final eXami-
nations or directly following it. This
year the Ivy festivities begin on June
LIST and continue for the following
three days. The final examinations
commence on June I and last until
the 16. 1t will be seen that this
leaves only four days between the
end of Ivy and the beginning of the
examinations for the students to
prepare.
The faculty feels that this time is
too short for anyone to make a
thorough review Of the whole years
work. as it is necessary to do at this
time. Either the date of the ex-
aminations would have to be set at
some other time or the date of Ivy
week would have to be changed. This
latter plan Will probably be the one
adopted, although the dates of both
of these may be changed. Austin
MacCCrmick, alumni secretary and
Professor Edward Hammond were
elected a committee to consider the
wisest course to take in dealing with
this subject.
