Catholic traditions: the "lectio brevis"...

Pontifical Universities in Rome have a few nice traditions. One is that on the first and last day of class the professor gives a lectio brevis.

This means the first week of class each class gets out early and the last weeek of class each class gets out early or is cancelled.

Truth be told, it's a fine tradition.

The last week as well as the first, eh?

Jolly good idea!
