Today is positively the last day for Seniors to hand in their "lives," and have their pictures taken. The thirty-odd Seniors should bear in mind that to be left out of the Album is certainly no small disgrace; and they will be left out unless they hand in their "lives," and make an appointment to have their pictures taken by tonight.

Regarding the second point, however, I can deal with facts, and facts with which, after some twenty odd years' experience as a tutor, I may claim to be tolerably well acquainted.
