Senior History. QQ EW people but collegians and those who have been collegians have any idea what a little world in itself a college community is. There are the stern realities in the regular schedule work 5 there are the pleasures in the social life of the clubs, societies, and fraternities g there are the positions of honor and trust in the various offices of the athletic, musical, histrionic, and literary societies, and in the college journal. In the acquirement of these last-mentioned offices politics come into play-politics as complicated as those of the greater world. Wliat is true of the college as a whole is true also of each class in a smaller degree. There is the class organization g there are the traditions to he adhered tog there is class spirit for originality and aggressiveness in interpretation of existing traditions and perhaps in founding new ones.

Here a policy of expan- sion was instituted. International law called for a play, and each nation had pro- duced one of a somewhat crernatory character. The commission on the play con- sidered a burlesque on some other phase of college life vastly superior to cremating a hated author, and so they wrote ''Chr01zohe!ero1'0se5, which the nation patrioti- cally presented.
