It is incumbent upon the senior class to take some decisive action at the coming class meeting with relation to the question of admitting freshmen to the tree on class day. It has become very apparent, of late years, that the presence of so large a body of students (all of the four classes) within the enclosure, at the exercises around the tree on that day, has become very inconvenient, to say the least, and detracts greatly from the success and pleasure of the occasion. No simpler solution of the difficulty has been found than the proposal to exclude the freshman class. Nevertheless, we believe the seniors would be very willing to endure the inconvenience of the larger crowd if, by admitting the freshman class in case of victory over Yale, a new incentive would be put before the class to win. The objection that was raised to the proposal to exclude '85 last year would be obviated by taking timely action on the question this fall. The extraordinary size of the present freshman class renders some action necessary.
