For a few moments tonight, students in Silliman College stopped worrying about school shootings, final exams or swine flu.  The reason?  The clock had struck midnight, which could only mean one thing.

It was time for breakfast.

Scores of Sillimanders took a break from last-minute exam preparations to feast on a spread of buttermilk pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage patties and hash browns at Silliman’s breakfast-at-midnight study break. Silliman Master Judith Krauss, pictured above, manned the grill.
