The goods" do not seem to be recording
their votes as quickly as was expected.
1t is perhaps, for them a serious subject
They all recognize the fact that the NOR
tar-btard suits them admirably, and there
- hut hot
materially to their dignity as students and
to their natural attractlyeness.
II would be a charming sight TO see all
the "cO-eds" walking across the campus IN
the full university regulation costume OF
cap and gown.
At least people who have seen the young
ladies at Newman College, In England,
say that they never looked upon prettler
picture.
There IS grace combined with dignity in
the cap and gown, and if The costume were
adopted here the "cO-eds would wonder
how they ever could have existed without 1t.
One of tie young ladies said to a reporter
Of THE CALL yesterday:
''Of course, l voted for the mortar-board
and gown.
II am decidedly in favor of it, and if all
the classes won't adopt the costume some OF
: them Will.

j really see no reason wny he cap and
gown should not De WORN by our students.
"They give distinguished appearance to
ne students and are in thorough harmony
~ tn a seat Of learning
The costume is a distinctive emblem of
university life and the dignity and mpor-
tance pertaining thereto.
"A young ma attends the university to
it himself mentally for life's battle.
~ as place for study and thought. and
that regard 1 think the cap and gown
peculiarly appropriate.
On the contrary, battered hat IS en-
tEe1y cut OF place, and it always was q
mystery to ine why it ever was suggested
Whoever originated the custom had a
cuilar idea OF the fitness of things.
