ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES By Myron Albert Burgess Undergraduates, faculty, and friends: We, the class of 1921, arc about to leave our exalted positions in this school to take up our higher positions in life. For four long years we have answered to the roll and marched with the colors of Old Enfield, and now, as we are about to leave, we feel it our duty to pause, undergraduates, to point out a few of your many inferiorities. Freshmen: 1 choose to speak to you first because you are the youngest members of the school. You must not feel badly because the Seniors do not notice you. for man never errs in finding out at an early age his position in life. 1 am told that the faculty and even passers-hv are worried at seeing you hanging out of the windows during intermission. The intermission affords you an opportunity to eat your lunch, so kindly insure this privilege to future classes by making the proper use of it. Boys! yes, and girls: You seem to he fond of chewing gum in school. This is a habit that should have been lost in the grades, and you must not entertain it here.
