Exercise extreme caution, reports suggest a recent sighting of an unattended organic chemistry textbook in the Fishbowl.

Adiós! Au revoir! Ciao!

This semester marks the lowest number of students actually returning to campus in decades in what appears to be a mass exodus for fairer weather, more exotic law schools, or perhaps simply in search of better coffee. Too bad they can’t escape U of T Law tuition at their host universities!
