To the Editors of the Crimson:

As one who loves congruities, and as a member of the graduating class, the writer would vigorously protest against the cap being separated from the gown. Surely those who witnessed the class day exercises of last year could not fail in being struck with the incongrity of the action when the seniors removed their caps in entering the auditorium of Sanders Theatre. It jarred a little upon ones sense of fitness. The cap, indeed, is not a hat to be removed during exercises but on the contrary to be worn. In Cambridge and Oxford its place is thus understood. The unique effect of both is quite lost when one is taken away; especially when the cap is of the peculiar form. The writer would repeat that it ought to be worn during the exercises in order to give the proper effect. Since graduating classes are so likely to set precedents for succeeding classes, the writer heartily trusts that the proper class day officials of '93 will consider the question of wearing the caps during the exercises in Sanders Theatre.
