A witty reflection on college life contrasts long periods of work with a playful preface about vacations. The piece notes the pressure of busy schedules and the weariness of constant effort, suggesting the appeal of leisure for college girls amid the holiday cycle.
The passage extols savoring vacation pleasures over strict schedules. It contrasts busy study life with the joy of leisurely routines like late breakfasts, magazine reading, hammocks, fishing, and sunset time. It argues happiness comes from embracing the minute rather than chasing efficiency.
Barnard alumnae argue that closing fraternities will deprive undergraduates of a cherished social life centered on annual trips and shared experiences. They urge current students to embrace a united push for a new Social Headquarters as a campus solution and call for action from graduates to back the initiative.
