THE COLLEGE'S annual Christmas recess this year will begin Saturday, December 18, at 12:15 p.m. and will end Wednesday, January 5, at 7:55 a.m., giving undergraduates approximately two weeks to spend at home. As has been the custom, special permission will be granted by the Dean of the College to permit students whose homes are on the West Coast and other similarly distant points, to leave a few days earlier than most of the student body. Several alumni clubs have planned to hold meetings during the Christmas vacation in honor of undergraduates in their localities.
