THE HESPERIAN

committee of the faculty has been appointed
to see how the faculty can best assist this
work. Last week this committee, which is

was retained, three now members being
added and they were instructed to do some
thinking immediately and find out some
thing that wonld be acceptable to all. The
class then adjourned.
It was with rather doleful looks that the
iDsigna committee left the class meeting last
Thursday they had been ordered to do
some thinking. We heard one youth mutter
ye gods do they take us for preps or fresh
men ?
One young lady at the Senior class meet
ing said if the girls could not wear caps and
gowns they would not wear anything. For
a moment this filled the young men with
consternation. Had the vote been taken
then it would have carried dead sure. But
after a whispered consultation it was decided
not to take her at her word
risk it.

When it was discovered that the young
ladies were bound that all have the same in
signa, some youth was cruel enough to sug

to his motion.
