It is hardly too early to call attention to and to make an effort to reform an abuse which has been on the increase for years. Each class day witnesses a steady growth in the inflow of the objectionable element who crowd our yard after evening. If the line could be drawn at muckerism, we would simply be repeating a worn out complaint. But the youth of Cambridge are not alone to blame in this particular case. The questionable youth of various stamps are concerned. It has long been a source of mortification to those who have entertained their friends to endure the presence and conversation of this class. Each year we have heard the same complaint and the same remedy suggested. The matter is already in the hands of the class day committee, and the evil could be stopped at once if the proper measures were adopted. Where each senior is allowed more tickets than he can possibly use among his more immediate friends, it is natural that he should be led to dispose of them recklessly rather than that they should be unused. If a less number of yard tickets were allowed to each senior, and if each extra ticket purchased should be placed at a higher price, there would be far less occasion to squander the tickets issued, and the character of those admitted to our evening festivities would be distinctly of a less questionable type. So simple a remedy ought not to be neglected, when the need of it is so great. If the class day committee of the present year make the first step in reform, the future will be already assured. We sincerely hope that for the good name of our university, if not for the pleasure of our friends, this much-needed change will be made.
