A day of interminable waiting while the college board of governors makes up its collective mind to appoint Dr. Hall to the presidency for another five years. A series of interruptions delay the announcement.
One of Professor Hall's students is pregnant but continues with her exam schedule. Because her husband serves in Korea she's prepared to not go through childbirth by herself but when it's time Hall steps in.
Mrs. Yates, an older student, has many questions for each of her classes. This embarrasses her son Addison who is trying to be prominent on campus. He asks Professor Hall to talk to his mother about her behavior.
