Eighty-nine has made a good record in college of which she may well be proud, and she has never been charged with lack of class patriotism. The dinner a year ago was a proof of the loyalty of her members. Her junior dinner was the largest one ever held by any class. There is no reason why the senior dinner should not be still larger.
