...response to the privilege by members of the class of 1908 this year. To insure its success not only for next year, but thereafter as well, members of the class are urged to take advantage of this opportunity of securing a room in Senior dormitories. It is the unanimous opinion of those members of the present Senior class living in these dormitories that the custom makes very strongly for class unity and good fellowship, and should therefore have the earnest support of every member of the class...

Such education of public opinion, if done for little pay, is in part a missionary work...
