I think the class has received distinctly a wrong impression as to the intention and methods of the Corporation Committee. No body could have the interests of the College more at heart than the men on this committee, or could have treated our committee more courteously. Our committee, on the other hand, was somewhat to blame for not taking more notice of the objections to the character of the exercises at our first joint meeting. Such objections were made and were reported to the class through the CRIMSON. Since the objections discussed at this meeting were principally against the seats, our committee thought that it was the safety of the people which that the objections against disagreeable features would not be pressed, but merely recommended.

When, therefore, the second meeting came around we had no definite plan to offer, and, naturally, could not get sanction to any reforms offered on the spur of the moment. as we had no systematic connection between them. Then we drew up a plan, showing very carefully how the changes would each remedy some evil of previous years; this was promptly acknowledged good by the Corporation Committee. A summary of this plan was published in Monday's CRIMSON. I personally feel that this plan would be a success, although it would depend wholly on the way the men would go at it. Men would struggle in to the Tree and having won their decent amount of flowers would gladly be allowed to make room for those behind by squeezing past them and getting out of the way. Some means would be found of giving a fair start.

I hope I have succeeded in correcting any impression to the effect that the Corporation Committee was anything but fair and courteous, and feel heartily sorry that such misunderstanding could have been aroused and printed through any fault of our committee.
