Less Excuses

"Less Excuses" is the nickname given to the clock in the Scholar Square Clocktower. Officially named the Scholar Clock, it became known informally as Less Excuses because, as a result of it being clearly visible and audible from every common area of the Occrea Young Ladies Academy, students had less excuses for not being on time to their classes. The nickname caught on beyond the campus and now the clock's official name is rarely used even in formal settings. Although "Less Excuses" originated as a nickname just for the clock, not the clocktower itself, it is also sometimes used as an umbrella term for both.
