Not only does the McGill University bookstore not sell colored chalk, they don’t sell chalk.

For some reason, I find this deeply disconcerting. There’s still nothing more inspiring than a blackboard artfully used, full of hieroglyphic scribbling on subjects esoteric and obscure. Now that’s learnin’.
That’s because chalk reproduces asexually on the blackboard rail. At least, the chalk in the Arts Building seems to have evolved the ability–there’s always a new batch at the start of each week.
The bookstore (a misnomer) also doesn’t sell bookends.
