WE have had our attention called to the fact that some few Juniors intend to give spreads in their rooms next Class Day. There is no question but that every man has the right to retain the use of his room on Class Day, and give a spread, too, for that matter; but it has always been customary for the lower classmen to do all in their power to oblige Seniors on that day and to make it a pleasant one for them. Class Day, by its name, would seem to point out the impropriety, to say the least, of an entertainment of any kind not conducted by a Senior.
A man ought not to expect to have more than one Class Day, and for a member of one of the lower classes to give a spread on that day, especially if it interferes in any way with a Senior's arrangements, would seem to be an infringement on the peculiar rights which the graduating class has by the courtesy of the other classes and of the College authorities. This courtesy has been so universal, that an exception appears very marked.
We think, however, that in the instances brought to our notice, thoughtlessness, or ignorance of the real nature of Class Day, has been the cause of this inconsiderateness. We hope that students will view the matter in this light, and do as they would be done by, for they certainly will wish and need similar favors when their own Class Day comes.
