...hoped that the Class-Day Committee will take ample measures to exclude the ubiquitous mucker whose habitual presence has so marred previous Class Days. For the whole day the Yard should be kept clear, and the committee is such that if they but make up their minds the Celtic element cannot enter into the procession of the Class as a disorderly phalanx, where it is usually prone to straggle...
There is another change that might well be made; the class has dispensed with a chaplain, it could well institute a new office and have a treasurer. Next week we learn the collection of class funds will be begun. There are two separate funds, - one the Class Fund, and the other the Class Subscription Fund.

There are men among us who, seeing that their fellow-students cannot afford new clothes, flaunt their gayly-colored garments in the faces of these very fellow-students. There are men who smile with self-glorifying complacency on their velvet chairs, who fill their rooms with rare works of art and literature, while they know that there are hundreds of others who cannot do likewise. There are men who, having been favored with early...
