AS we close the fifth volume of our paper, and gladly thank the many friends who have contributed so much to the success of The Crimson, we feel, at the same time, the most sincere regret that there passes from among us a class that has so identified itself with the literary associations and undertakings of our College. The predominant characteristic of the Class of Seventy-five has been its literary taste and tendencies; and while it has never taken so marked a lead in athletic interests as some of its contemporaries, it has furthered the interests of the college papers too materially to make even our sincerest thanks, now, any sufficient return. The Crimson, under its earlier name, received from Seventy-five an energetic and able board of Editors, such as few subsequent classes can hope to surpass. Not only as acting Editors then, but as contributors since, this board has shown its interest in the welfare of The Crimson. To-morrow we join in the celebration of their Class Day, and the general festivities of a class that has not only done much for Harvard journalism, but has, during the year now closing, shown itself exceptionally generous, as a class, in sustaining other literary institutions within the College.
