...vote taken at the Freshman smoker Wednesday evening should not be considered as an expression of the opinion of the whole class. The 226 votes for beer and the 181 against, represent only 407 Freshmen out of a catalogued total of 705. In other words, the opinion of three-sevenths of the class has not yet been given...

We therefore urge that a vote of the whole class be taken on the question as soon as possible. A smoker, attended by some merely because of the beer that is served, and attended by only four-sevenths of the class at that, is not a place at which the definite decision of the class as a whole...

Except for the directory, the whole book will be made up this spring before College closes. It is planned to include more pictures than in the past...
...that in any case there is great room for improvement. Every undergraduate is well acquainted with the existence of a large number of "snaps"; he is subject to the constant temptation to elect them in spite of the knowledge that to him they will be of little value. Certain whole departments--notably that of Philosophy--are the worst offenders. If the principles of scientific management and standardization are to be introduced at all, they should be adopted consistently...
