Tonight the blue-book for the junior dinner will be taken from Leavitt and Peirce's, and, before it goes, it ought to receive the signatures of at least eighty more men. The class has about three hundred and fifty members, and yet last night at half past ten only eighty-nine men had expressed, in substantial form, their intention of attending the dinner. At least half of the class must be present in order to make the dinner a class occasion; with any smaller number the dinner may be never so delightful as a private party, but it could hardly be called more than that.

As has been said time and time again, such a dinner gives the one chief opportunity in the whole college course for the class to become conscious of itself as a class, and for the different members to meet each other on a common level. Surely ninety-five will regret it, if the dinner is made only a halfsuccess.
