The attention of all Seniors needs to be called to the fact that the time has come when, according to the vote of the class, they should wear caps and gowns. It is to be regretted that the members of the class have not of their own accord started the custom at the time agreed upon. To all appearances, however, only a very small proportion of the class have done so. Obviously if this state of affairs continues and the Seniors show themselves incapable of putting into effective operation a carefully considered vote of the class, the only result will be to make the class ridiculous in the eyes of the University.

The individual preferences of the members of the class should no longer have any weight with them. After open and careful discussion the class voted to wear caps and gowns, and that vote should be considered binding by every man in the class. Unless some action is taken, what might readily be made a pleasing custom will degenerate into a mere farce.
