EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: The views expressed by your correspondent, '87, in regard to a Class Day uniform, seem very sensible, in calling attention to that absurd custom of wearing dress suits throughout the day.

It seems extremely probable that in the near future the good taste of the college will rebel against dressing two hundred odd students as no other mortals but hotel waiters are dressed. This being so, what better time than the present year to institute the reform?

The question next arises, what can be substituted for the present style of dress? The only truly appropriate dress for a student is the cap and gown. Though I am not an advocate of Anglomania, I trust that the spirit of the college is too liberal to refuse to wear an appropriate dress simply because it is English. The only objection is the expense, which would not be a very large item; besides, gowns could probably be hired at reasonable rates from some enterprising tailor.

Black cutaway or frock coats would be far better and in better taste than a waiter's costume. Should the adoption of the gown be found - after submitting the matter to a vote of the class - impracticable, some action must be taken and taken now.
