It was suggested in an editorial in yesterday morning's CRIMSON that if class dinners were held annually, from the entrance of a class into college until its graduation, instead of once in the Junior year, as now, they might help to do away with the unnatural and unnecessary divisions and disunion which exist in our social life. The Junior dinners have always been very successful in uniting the various separated groups and individuals in the class in an informal meeting, which has done a great deal to make the members of the class acquainted with each other, to acquaint the class with itself, and to rouse an enthusiastic class spirit. A Freshman or Sophomore dinner should be no less successful.

It is in this creation of a class spirit that the greatest good of the annual dinners would lie. The feeling of a common interest, and of a common loyalty and brotherhood, which they would bring about, would make college life fuller, more interesting and more beneficial for the individuals of the class, and would make the class as a body stronger and more successful.

The plan is worth a trial at any rate, and we recommend it to the serious and immediate consideration of 1900.
