The communication which we publish in another column in regard to the senior class photographs, seems to have been written in a spirit of fault-finding and exaggeration, which to some extent probably accounts for the evident lack of facts contained in this communication. The work of a photographic committee is notoriously disagreeable. Complaints will always arise as it is impossible to satisfy everybody, and of course all the blame is laid upon the committee, or upon the photographer. No blame is ever for a moment placed upon the man who neglects time and time again to arrange a sitting, and then finally goes in the last few days when there is always a rush for such as he, and complains because there is not time for him to sit again. The understanding with the photographer was that every member of the class could sit until his negative was entirely satisfactory. If anyone failed to avail himself of this opportunity, whose fault was it? In regard to the groups, the gentleman who claims to represent the class of '85 is entirely wrong. The contract with Mr. Notman includes the class groups, according to the regular custom. Many of these groups have already been taken, and have been accepted as satisfactory by the societies interested. Most of the societies named in the communication are not included in the class work, and with them the senior class photographer has no official connection. The charge that Mr. Notman sub-lets the work is ridiculously untrue, as we have been informed on reliable authority. We suppose, however, that the committee can easily show the untruth of these alleged "desires for economy." We wish to repeat that the senior class has elected Mr. Notman photographer, and that they ought to do all they can to make the pictures a success, and to assist the committee in its work, and not to thwart and discourage the committee because some of the class were personally in favor of Pach Bros. for senior photographer.
