THE Secretary of the Senior class has furnished his classmates with blanks for their. "lives," accompanied with directions and an appeal that the blanks be filled out immediately. We cannot but regret that the Secretary and Class Committee have determined to hold on to this ancient method of compiling the class history. The Secretary of a late class, in a letter to the Crimson a few months ago, showed at length that the "lives" amount to little more than a farce. "Less than sixty per cent. of the class write anything at all," he wrote; and if this is the case with ordinary classes, what can we expect from Seventy-Seven? The class has been so much divided by the "unpleasantness " arising from this year's elections, that even the usual amount of class-feeling does not exist; accordingly less interest than ever before will be taken in any class work, and an undue proportion of "lives" must inevitably be lost. The plan suggested by our correspondent of having a class-book edited by the Secretary and not by the class at large would have worked much more satisfactorily. We speak, however, from our fears and not at all from our hopes. It is extremely desirable that a class should have a full and complete book, and we wish Seventy-Seven might have such a one. Indeed, we consider, now that the class authorities have decided to retain the old system, that it is the duty of every Senior who has a particle of regard for his class to fill out his blank.
