To the Editors of the Crimson:
Now that the College has partially pledged itself to march in the city's parade on June 3, it seems that the managers ought to take hold in a wholehearted manner. Very little has been done to test the general feeling of the students. A single appeal appeared in the CRIMSON, and although this stated that blue books would be placed in Leavitt's, Thurston's, and Memorial, no books were put in the last-named place. There has been very little effort to persuade men to enter.
If the men are to march at all, the main extenuation of their taking part seems, to our minds, to be in the proposed scheme for caps and gowns of the class colors. With proper energy on the part of those in charge, a blue book canvass could easily be taken of those willing to parade and those who wish to buy caps and gowns. If thought advisable, the Seniors might wear their Class Day caps and gowns, with perhaps a bit of orange ribbon. Something definite would then be known about the number which would take part.
In any case a successful representation requires activity on the part of its managers.
NINETY-SIX AND NINETY-SEVEN.
