They've had quite a few New Englanders on the show - I guess they're expanding their reach a little. :?

It's nihil obstat® so far.

Though I could deduce the answer, I never have heard of "reading period" in terms of college (or law school).

A few classes had a "dead period" before finals.

In my day (BA '75) it was a "reading period". However my youngest son, who came in from college last night as we were watching the recording, said that they know it as "dead period" as you mentioned.

They called it reading day at my college. I also heard it called dead day at another school.
