SENIOR PICNICS AND THE H. C. L.

The failure of the annual collection made by the Seniors from the Freshmen indicates either that the class of 1923 does not appreciate the importance of this custom, or does not realize that the cost of Senior picnics; like everything else, has increased. Two hundred and twelve dollars is worth less than half what it was before the war, but even at its face value, the sum is the least that has been collected in any recent year. The fault does not lie so much with those Freshmen who were present as with that large portion of the class which did not come to the steps of Widener. To make the Senior picnic a success, the Freshmen must swell their subscription in some way, and a drive conducted in the class, through its officers, seems the best method of reaching those who have not yet contributed.
