Thanksgiving Unchanged
November 1939

IN KEEPING WITH New England tradition, and with a College calendar drawn up far in advance, Dartmouth will observe Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of the month, November 30. Thanksgiving recess will extend from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4.

Two important changes have been made in this year's College calendar. A mid-year recess of a week will be held following firstsemester final examinations, with Winter Carnival scheduled to be held on the weekend of the recess period from February 5 to 10. In the other change, the pre-examination reading periods have been eliminated in order to lengthen the examination periods from ten days to two weeks. The changes were effected following administrative conferences with Palaeopitus and other student representatives.
