Last year a movement was started suggesting a Sophomore dance for the class of 1931. It brought forth comments that a Sophomore dance was not traditional and that the following year would bring forth the traditional Junior Prom...
Recently (a month ago) President Trainor published a notice to the effect that no Junior Prom would be held in 1930. The principal reason given was that the 1929 Prom was a financial failure. It has also been brought to light that the Freshman Jubilee of the class of 1931 fared badly financially. All of this seems strange--that all Harvard social functions should fall.

The Michigan authorities are to be congratulated for so neatly nipping this potential movement in the bud by an assertion of power from on high...
