After the cheering the seniors will form two rings around the tree, the juniors two rings outside of them; the sophomores, two rings outside of the juniors, and the freshmen one ring outside of all.

As the seniors (both rings) begin to move very slowly to the left, the juniors will do the same to the right, the sophomores to the left, and the freshmen to the right. When the seniors break...

He said he could speak for the young men-for those who have become voters during the last ten years-in saying that they are disgusted with platforms which read double, intended to deceive, as well as with the parties which make such platforms. The young men stand ready to welcome an honest party with an honest platform. President Eliot disliked the name Independent. Independent movements are sometimes necessary, but not very much can ever be accomplished by them. Let us have a new party, with a new name, fresh courage, and a prospect of success...
