SENIORS are notified that unless more orders are received for certain groups on their lists, those groups will not be taken. Numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 17, 21, 23, 27 are among those for which few or no orders have been received...
...remember seeing, in some Western college paper, objection made to obliging a class to appear on a certain occasion in dress-suits, that the class in question would have to purchase a suit for which they would have no use afterwards. This objection may be made against our returning to the old Class-Day costume; but it should have little force, for it need cost no man more than eight dollars to dress himself properly on his Class Day.

It may be a matter of small interest to our ever-respected Faculty that a general change in the order of examinations is made during the week preceding the semiannuals; that certain men are thereby invited to three or four examinations in the first few days of our festivities, and that of necessity the brevity of their preparation is likely to be rivalled only by that of the answers in their blue books. It may be a matter of little concern...
