...certain pathetic commiseration on myself, unwarmed for the whole four years by a single act or word expressive of interest on the part of those to whom my education was intrusted.

At present the Register rehashes the Senior Album, the Freshman Red Book, and the College Directory, adds the list of social organizations, and sells the product for one dollar...
