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.

The subject weighed on my mind even after the theme was handed in. I took a personal view of it too, and one day I found myself soliloquizing about as follows: "Yes; I am pretty far down. I never had an idea which did n't come from the Nation. I don't know anything about the great questions of philosophy. What is culture to me? I spend my time in playing cards for beer...
