DURING the last two weeks the Class-Day question has been carefully, and for the most part calmly, debated. The possibility, and even the advisability, of continuing the old class organization and fete day has been seriously questioned. Such radical differences of opinion have been expressed that now the expectation of a peaceful reconciliation exists only in breasts naturally buoyant with hope. The situation, as we understand it, is this: a large number of those who made up the coalition party in the class meeting, which caused the whole trouble, see now that they misjudged those whom they regarded as their opponents, and would be glad if the work were undone. Those who believe in the best man for every office, without regard to anything else, are now willing to leave the matter to be decided by the sober second thoughts of the class. A majority of its members are apparently anxious to see the offices vacated, and then refilled in a meeting distinguished by the absence of " put-up-jobs" and all sorts of wire-pulling. One of two things will certainly be done, - either a new election, perfectly open and free, will be attempted, or the class will split on the rock and graduate without organization. Their final action in this matter is of importance to all succeeding classes, for it will virtually decide the question whether united action is possible in classes so large as ours have become and among men who differ so completely in all their views of life.
