...proposition to change the dinner-hour to the latter part of the day will soon be brought before the College for censure or approval; the changes which this plan involves are of great importance, and careful consideration must be given to the subject, that we may not thoughtlessly make a decision that will afterwards be regretted. Arguments for one side of the question have already appeared in the Advocate, and the advantages of late dinners presented at their best.
