To the Editors of The CRIMSON:

The members of the Senior class have recently received various class documents to fill out, including a subscription blank for the class fund. The importance of this fund cannot be overrated. Out of it come all class expenses after graduation: class reports, class reunions and dinners and the class gift. The larger the fund the more closely is the class able to hang together, and the better able is it to have jolly re-gatherings, to have the completes of reports, to keep each and every man in touch with class interests, and to carry out successfully all class projects. To accomplish this every man must be willing and eager to give as large an amount as he can possible spare. Let us each and all get together, subscribe all we can and a little more, and raise such a fund as will enable the class to act with absolute freedom so far as finances are concerned.

Another thing--consideration should be taken of the fact that payments are to be made in five annual instalments, which ought to permit a man to subscribe more than he might otherwise be able. Our treasurer has given us an estimate of $25 per man as sufficient for a moderate fund. But it seems to me that the minimum ought to be at least $50. This involves a personal expense of but $10 a year for five years, and surely a man in behalf of the class can make so small a sacrifice as the saving of one dollar a month, even out of the meagre twenty five which I suppose most of us will be getting for some time to come. In the eighties the average subscription was much larger than it has been in the past few years. Can we not do at least as well as the older classes did?

Once again--let each man subscribe all that he possibly can and if he cannot make it more, by hook or crook, let him be sure to put down $50 at the very least. 1906.
