Reasons! Yon ask. I can give you
'many showing why 1 wish the cap and
gown when I become a senior, some -day

My fiist and greatest reason is that 1
wish to wear thein very much. A man
has a right to wish to wear anything that

caps and gowns are eminently respecta

1 will have no opportunities in my fonr
college years of hurry-seunying to win

decorated with an insignia which shall
focus public gaze in my direction and
give 'me my share of publicity!
