Today the Seniors take up the time-honored custom of wearing caps and gowns. It is an honor that no Senior can afford to neglect through false modesty or laziness; but should be welcomed as an enviable privilege and a means to better unity in the last weeks of an eventful undergraduate career...
Personally, I must acknowledge that I am more partial to the major sports; but this lack of fair play is what brings forth my protest. Is the man who runs on the track every day during the winter supposed to do his college work conscientiously, while the basketball player neglects his? Such a supposition is ob- viously absurd.

But for some unexplainable reason the team is not being supported. An opportunity to play baseball is being wasted, while we compromise ourselves...
