To undergraduates a word of caution ought to be given in regard to treatment of graduates. The men who come back here at Commencement are of course rejoiced to be here and to meet their classmates and friends, and are thus put in such a good-natured mood that they are willing to endure almost any familiarity that undergraduates may impose upon them. These familiarities are often carried to an almost unbearable extent, and must be very annoying to graduates. Last year several rooms which were reserved for graduates were entered by students, and the "preparations" made way with without ceremony. Actions of this sort do not become us at the present high state of Harvard gentlemanliness, and this year we hope they will be carefully avoided.

We do not mean to say that there is anything improper in an undergraduate's appearing at a graduate's "festive board," or in their honoring together their common mother from the graduate's "flowing bowl," but the undergraduate should wait for an invitation and not intrude unbidden upon the company of his elders.
