...such as will best allow the students to manifest their interest in this anniversary. We hope that much reference will be made to like celebrations which have occurred in older countries. For, although we desire something original and peculiar to our native land, still having few precedents in this matter in our own country, we should look to those who have already had experience abroad...
...thing that we have probably all noticed, but which few have made mention of, thinking it no doubt too small a matter, is the annoyance, if not danger, caused by the swinging doors in Sever Hall. We can never tell when we enter whether at that moment some one will not be coming out and so slam the door in our face.

If the practice is still continued we may justly look for a serious deterioration in the character of Class Day and the pleasures which attend it. The greatest care ought to be taken to improve to the best advantage the opportunities afforded but once in a life time to meet so many common friends upon such an occasion...
