PLAN FOR SENIOR SMOKERS.

Along with the annual migration of Seniors to the Yard has come the custom of holding interdormitory smokers in the first floor rooms. This is an excellent tradition. By the time of its fourth year a class is so broken up into groups that an all-class smoker is hardly feasible. But geographical proximity and the associations of the Yard make open-house entertainments between dormitories both practicable and profitable. The aging undergraduate may cement at these functions acquaintances which now are of a merely speaking character, and may treasure them in his graduate life or find them sources of pleasure at his class reunions. At present the first-floor rooms act rather generally as loafing places for the dormitory dwellers. Undoubtedly the occupants would be gratified if they could feel that their hospitality was really promoting social intercourse among their classmates.

It is not too early for the 1916 officers to begin making arrangements for a series of interdormitory smokers to be held after the mid-year examinations.
