OK, I'll pipe in -> when I was at Cornell we didn't have a fall break but
in my senior year they decided to schedule one for the following year.
Chalk another one up for Murphy!

I have an interesting item to throw out to net.college -> several schools I
have come across (including Rutgers and NYU at least at one time) have their
Fall Semester finals AFTER a Christmas/New Year holiday break.  This always
struck me as a horrible cross to have to bear during the "joyous" holiday
season.  Are there schools out there that still organize their schedule this
way?  Do people like it or hate it?  I always had great plans of getting lots
of work done during Thanksgiving and never opened a book!  I'm sure the same
would have happened to me if my Fall semester extended over the holidays into
January.
