EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON - The miseries of our existence a la freshman, are occasionally relieved by glimpses of future liberation. '85 had some, '86 has more. The feudal period of college is dead; its course deserves prominent interment among the long buried remains of other fossilized oppressions. The common interpretation of class loyalism has ceased to be slaughter and death to those unfortunates who date their graduation in subsequent years; university lords of one term's standing have ceased to regard classless refugees of no standing whatever, as the legitimate victims of their varied and erratic humours. The wingless elements no longer look upon the winged with irreverence, prejudice and hatred, but rather behold in their lofty flight the prospects of their own high, glorious career. In short, "comme il faut." The sooner will all fly when those who can become an inspiration, not an aversion to those who cannot.

A collegiate millenium will find overgrown class-prejudice merged into fellowship which knows no class; it will dawn upon greater accomplishment, because it will dawn upon more advanced opportunities; upon grander prospects, because upon immovable union of action.

'90.
