Both these institutions have been built up for many years by the customs and traditions of many classes, and changing them because we have been presented with a fine amphitheatre is akin to coasting in June because someone has given us a toboggan. In spite of the fact that Sanders is limited in capacity and that the Stadium is so gloriously bountiful in its seating, there are many of us who had rather wait, a good many years for our seat in Sanders at Commencement and who had rather see Class Day go on near...
