Whether Dr. Davidson, the choirmaster, who has just originated this custom, took his cue from the healers of nervous disorders, it is quite in accord with principles which they know and apply -- sometimes with music itself.

Today, according to custom, the Senior Class will don the Cap and Gown, which, for centuries has been the mark and badge of the scholar. Time, which has made such inroads on our traditions, has in so far pravailed that the period during which gowns are worn is now but a scant seven weeks of four long years of undergraduate existence.
