CAP-A-PIE

"O hard condition, twin-born with greatness!" A saying not so malapropos for this day, when the Senior takes up the double burden of divisionals and the cap and gown. The irony of the fifth Henry's position has never come home to us so strongly before now. Although the class of 1922 will start the day off in the traditional garb of the scholar, the sun will not have set before the majority will have gone through the first step in the process of proving its claim to such title; or at any rate, claim to a degree, which can by stretch of imagination be called the label of the scholar. And, no doubt, the cap and gown will make examinees feel more learned, and lend potency to their exhibitions of scholarships. Surely, here is irony; it remains to see the victim of the joke--the cap, or the gown.
