Today is Mountain Day at Smith College, where I work. Once during the fall semester the President of Smith College will pick a day and announce in the morning that all classes and appointments are cancelled. Students love Mountain Day, far more than they would if the day had been announced in advance. I suspect we under-invest in fun surprises in our society.
