We have heard complaints that some of the freshmen have refused to give up their rooms to seniors on Class Day. This, we are sure, has happened through ignorance of college customs, and not through unwillingness to comply with them. The freshmen probably do not appreciate that Class Day is Seniors' Day. From Thursday to Saturday the college is given up to them and the campus and buildings are entirely at their disposal. Other undergraduates are regarded only as invited guests, and have no claims to consideration except as friends of the seniors. The hosts of the day need the dormitories to hold receptions and spreads in. They may be seriously inconvenienced by failure to secure the rooms they wish for; and other men make it a point to give the seniors all possible and in carrying out their plans for this most enjoyable day. Freshmen should remember that three years from now they will be making a similar demand for rooms-for it is more than asking the rooms as a favor-and must expect to be treated then as they treat seniors now.
