Law Men and the Cap and Gown.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

There will be about two hundred seniors in line of march on Commencement Day, all wearing caps and gowns. Besides these only two or three dozen are likely to march, most of whom will be from the graduating class of the Law School. This class has voted not to wear the cap and gown. If the members of the class felt that they wished to put themselves on record against the innovation adopted by the college seniors, the University, we are very sure, feels glad to have them express their opinion in the way they have; and it was simply with this wish to put their sentiments on record that a large number of the class voted for the resolution. Now that this opinion has been registered, however, and its weight felt in the University, would it not be advisable, in order to add finish to the Commencement occasion, if the Law men who attend the exercises should wear the cap and gown? Amidst to much of the latter paraphernalia, two dozen dress suits and silk hats may look somewhat lonesome. Certainly, from their number, they will leave upon friends and spectators, who see all the graduates together, an impression of inharmoniousness and incompleteness and the regret that the cap and gown had not entirely prevailed. Quite possibly, too, the Law men themselves might in the end, as some of them in advance now do, share in the feelings of the spectators. The University's graduating class should be clothed alike. - At the suggestion of a Law Man.
