EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - The faculty refuses to grant us three days of grace, at the period of Thanksgiving and humiliation. The sentiment of the undergraduates seems to be in favor of a season of respite, during which we may replenish our wasted tissues. It will take at least, three days, to accomplish this end, the faculty to the contrary, notwithstanding.

"Self-assertion is the beginning of ethical life." (Philosophy 4.) Let me begin an ethical life Thursday, Nov. 27th, and live it until Dec. 1st. During that time let each undergraduate lead a pure, beautiful, moral life. Let us set aside our "Harvard dignity" for a little while-it amounts to priggishness sometimes-and be human. Let's start a revolution. We have lain in state long enough.

No pure ethical being will attend recitations or prayers after Thanksgiving day, until the following Monday.
