EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I should like to call attention to the behavior of certain freshmen in French I, at the Friday morning recitations. A number of these fellows, who are evidently ignorant of the etiquette not only of college but of common life, have the habit of leaving the lecture room immediately after the roll call. They thus get the credit of going to a recitation, and still spend the hour as they like. Unhappily they do not seem to realize that in their conduct they are guilty of grave discourtesy to the instructor, - a discourtesy which does not come from gentlemen. Then in addition, a man who follows this method shows a lamentable lack of courage. If he wants to spend his hour away from a lecture, the way to do it is to cut, and not to sneak out after a roll-call. This sneaking is poor business, even for freshmen.
