THE COLLEGE

AN academic year is one of the most fragmented things invented by man. The writer of a monthly review of Dartmouth life is especially aware of the frequency with which holidays and vacations, short and long, break up the college calendar. At the moment, the Spring Vacation (March 28 to April 8) is about to begin and there is much feverish preparation among the students who have funds enough to be part of the annual migration to Bermuda, Florida and other sunny spots. With the cost of going to college as high as it is today, a great mystery is the happy effort that students put.into making a fast getaway from the academic.
