WE stand upon the threshold of a new era in College reforms. This year will witness the success or failure of an important change in the College system, - the voluntary attendance for the Senior Class. Our Dean has addressed a Circular to all the members of the class, urging punctuality at the beginning of the term, and inflicting heavy penalties for non-appearance. This suggests an important feature of the reform: the success of the experiment is as dependent upon the Students as upon the Faculty. Without hearty co-operation on our side, the measure will fall to the ground, despite every effort of the Faculty to the contrary. For the first time in our College experience, we are thrown on our own responsibility. A direct appeal is made to our good sense, and we are urged to use our liberty wisely. Let our response be as hearty as the request. Let us remember that the opportunity now offers to prove ourselves men, not only in word, but in deed. The eyes of other and similar institutions are upon us, ready to criticise any flaw in our system, to depreciate the liberty accorded to young men. We know that the constant cry of the public is that Harvard gives her students too much liberty, thereby implying that we know not how to use it. Prove the contrary, that in the end we may not hear the old story of "I told you so."
