...evening. I fear that those who urge this have had more conversation with the chaperons than with the young ladies. Those who especially do honor to Class Day, and who, after the Seniors, take the most pleasure in it, are the "buds." Now who ever heard one of these complain of the length of a ball?

Judging from the subjects which the instructor in this course has given out in the past, those who take English 5 will have no reason to complain, as the New York Evening Post recently complained in regard to the Townsend essay subjects at Yale, that the students are not encouraged to write on live topics...
