Chapel was at eight-thirty , but not compulsory . Recitations began at nine and lunch was at twelve . Recitations and lectures -LRB- these latter did not interest our freshmen , for they had no lectures the first year -RRB- ended at three-thirty , when , all the girls were supposed to take gymnastics of some kind . Otherwise , their time was their own until dinner at six o'clock . The girls had the time free from seven till seven-thirty . The following two hours were those devoted to quiet study -LRB- or should be -RRB- in their own rooms , or in the reference department of the library . At ten all were supposed to retire .
