Senior Prank
Well, I just got back from executing stage one of my class's senior prank. All the seniors got up between 4:30 and 5 (the earliest we can leave the dorm) and walked over to designated areas. I was the dorm leader, so I got a call at 4:30 to make sure I was awake. The conversation was something like this:
"Meredith, you're awake."
"Correct." (groggy)
"Is everyone else up yet?"
"Ungh."
We proceeded to steal all of the chairs from the main academic building and reset them up in Harkness circles all throughout the campus. There are instructions on all the classroom doors on which outdoor location to go to. Everyone is encouraged to be on time to class.
My group was schlepping chairs that were carted from the buildings to their designated locations and setting them up in ovals. Because everyone was involved, we got all 300+ chairs moved and set up in about half an hour. My friends and I then walked around and took pictures of us in pseudo-classroom situations at a bunch of the set-ups.
There'll be more hijinks coming, just you wait...
Sincerely,

Why aren't Harkness Circles round? Don't the people at the ends feel excluded?

We actually have 4 circular Harkness tables. Most of the tables are oval shaped because the classrooms aren't wide enough to fit the round table. Despite the non-Arthurian quality of an oval, we can still see everyone at the table and it works out. There's not really an end, per se, but I'm glad you're concerned for the welfare of those in those seats ;)
