...signalized these occasions. But we believe rather in trusting to '85's sense of what is decent and just. Let her only have strength of mind enough to take the initiative in foregoing this discreditable practice of former Freshman classes, and she will commence her career by gaining the respect and admiration of the whole College, and establish a line of conduct which future classes will not be slow to follow...
