Mountain Day is a surprise
break from classes. The president chooses a beautiful fall day and announces the
holiday by ringing the college bells. A picnic lunch can be provided by the college
to be carried to the students' various outdoor activities on campus or to nearby
parks.
Classes and academic appointments scheduled before
7 p.m. are canceled. Evening classes, films, lectures and other events will be
held as planned.
Mountain Day information will be available on the
Smith Web site and on the Smith College INFO Line (585-4636 from off campus; ext.
4636 from campus telephones) beginning at 7 a.m. on the appointed day.
The first Mountain Day was held in 1877. |
