The precautions taken by the Class Day Committee concerning the sale of tickets to the exercises on Class Day, are reasonable and just. It may seem to some men that there is a needless amount of red tape in the disposal of tickets. Yet every bit of this seemingly needless form is absolutely necessary if the sale of these tickets is to be conducted with fairness, and Class Day is to be made a success. In spite of the precautions which former committees have taken in keeping track of the tickets that are given out, a great deal of trouble has been caused, just because some men have felt that the conditions which they had agreed upon when buying tickets, were merely formal and not binding upon them. Such a spirit as this is unworthy of gentlemen.

The Class Day Committee is elected by the whole senior class, and full power is given to it to make the occasion as thorough a success as possible. Every man in the class should therefore feel it his duty to support this committee in whatever measures it may deem necessary. There is nothing unreasonable in its requirements. It simply asks that all members of the class shall see that the Yard on this day is kept free from an objectionable class of outsiders. The committee calls upon the class to aid them in carrying this out, and they have a right to expect that the class to a man will abide by the conditions that they have thought it necessary to impose.

It is imperative, if Class Day is to be a success, that the tickets to the exercises shall not be sold to outsiders. It should therefore be unnecessary to urge upon each member of the senior class the necessity of following implicitly the conditions upon which he purchases his tickets. If much trouble had not been caused in former years from the sale of tickets by a few seniors, this appeal would have been thought useless. Certainly to every man who has the honor of his class at heart, and hopes for a successful Class Day, the appeal is useless.
