SENIOR SLUGGISHNESS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the thoughtless procrastination characteristic of most college men, nearly 500 Seniors have put off getting measured for caps and gowns till the last minute. The response to the request that every man in the class have his picture taken and his life blank made out for the Senior Album has not been much better. It is an example of the usual way in which the committees responsible have to plead, prod and exhort the rest of the men to do their part to make class affairs a success.

If, because of neglecting to co-operate any Senior should be deprived of taking part in Class Day, or not included in the Album, he would feel that he had been done a great injustice. Perhaps a day will come when the long suffering Senior Committees will refuse to "baby" their fellow classmates with multiple remainders and will trust them to bear their light burden of responsibility alone. But so far there has been no committee which would risk the danger of an incomplete Album or an unsatisfactory Class Day in order to discipline the rest of the class. The least all Seniors can do in appreciation for the arduous work done by the Committee is to make this work as easy as possible by cooperating in every way.
