DURING the last two weeks the Class-Day question has been carefully, and for the most part calmly, debated. The possibility, and even the advisability, of continuing the old class organization and fete day has been seriously questioned. Such radical differences of opinion have been expressed that now the expectation of a peaceful reconciliation exists only in breasts naturally buoyant with hope. The situation, as we understand it, is this: a large number of those who made up the coalition party in the class meeting, which caused the whole trouble, see now that they misjudged those whom they regarded...
...opinions expressed as to Class-Day matters under the heading of "Correspondence" must not be understood to be those of the Editors of the Crimson, even if no comments are made on them. It is the intention of this paper to be as far as possible thoroughly independent of society feelings while dealing with this subject, and to open its columns to any and every contributor.

I have been obliged, therefore, to make up this year some of the work which I lost by this absence, and, among other things, to write a theme on one of the following subjects: "A Personal Experience," or "A Criticism on the Late Discussion." I thought over my eventful career, but could not recall any episode which seemed likely to edify my instructor, and so, although not knowing what the "Late Discussion" was about, I decided to take the second alternative...
