...light of the regrettable occurrences of past April firsts in Memorial, it sometimes seems unfortunate that the spring vacation is not arranged to include that date instead of April nineteenth. If this were so the April Fool "roughhousers" could throw their food and rattle their crockery in their own homes, where any damage to property or tempers could be repaired within the family household.

For the past few years the members of the Hall have considered the dinner hour on April Fool's Day as a perfectly legitimate time for the suspension of all sense of good breeding and conventional table-manners. We sincerely hope that this sort of "fun" will be omitted this evening. If an appeal to the members' sense of decency and regard for gentle-manly conduct (as opposed to the manners of a fourth rate boarding house) can have any effect, let us be free from a custom at once hopelessly childish and also...
