We are glad to see from the result of the mass meeting last night that the students are willing to go into the Cambridge parade with some sort of enthusiasm and to do their part to make the event, which is so eagerly looked forward to by citizens of Cambridge, a success. The decision about the wearing of caps and gows, though likely to detract somewhat from the general effect, will doubtless induce many more men to march. As was suggested by a correspondent a short time ago, it would be a good plan if the Seniors should agree to wear their regular Class Day gowns. It would not cost any more, and it would make the graduating class distinctive. The classes will probably march in order, the Seniors leading the undergraduates, and in that case the wearing of cap and gown by this class would serve to mark more clearly the College representatives from the citizens going before. It would undoubtedly add much to the procession if each of the College classes should secure a band, and let the College student band go in advance of the Seniors.

However these are matters of detail and will be discussed fully by those in charge. Since the students have consented to march, which is the main thing, they may be counted upon to make their part of the parade a good one.
