The Senior class decided by a large majority, at its meeting last evening, to keep the old Tree. The exercises around it will be modified, however. The flowers will be placed around the Tree extending from five to eight feet from the ground and into them the '97 emblem will be woven. The men will wear ordinary clothes, probably a uniform costume to be recommended by the Class Day Committee, and the scrimmage will not be rough. The seats will be limited to about 3400. Five schemes were proposed, the first of which was adopted. Two of the others were those already suggested by the committee; to use four trees back of University, or to have a shower of flowers. The fourth scheme was to choose a new tree back of Matthews, and the fifth was to have the class officers distribute the flowers. Various modifications of all the plans were suggested, but after a long discussion the vote was in favor of the old Tree.

The class also decided to have an exclusive Senior dance in Memorial Hall on the evening before Class Day. The afternoon before this dance is the date for the usual ball game and it is intended to use this preceding day as an extension of the Class Day exercises, especially for the spreads. Class Day itself will not be changed. The tickets for the Senior dance will be limited to 1200 and boxes will be arranged in Memorial Hall.

Caps and gowns were adopted by a large majority. The Class Committee was instructed to design a gown which should not be the same as those of other colleges.

It was decided to give the class cheer to the Freshmen and not to the Sophomores.
