Dear Mom,

While h;ng in my Coxbolc last night, not.

dinner, we mode you, with many protests,
rest while we did the dishes. Of course,
we did b1~ak your {n\·oritc dish!
All afternoon people kept d,.opping in
und Christmas cheer just radiated tht·oogh
the cit)•. Everybody was yelling ''Merry
Christntas.,.

Dear Ed,

I'm going to t..'\ke the liberty to del\'t
into n bit of recollection and comparison.
When I was :1 Freshman, 1 remember
having definitely been indoctrinated with
the tradition thnt under-<:la~men l·~lin­quish
c~rta in p1·iviJegcs to the uppel'•cltk~
men. Among those things that ltjust &t"Cn't
done'·' by Fl'e~hmen (w~ wtn·c told) i~ to
Jlrecede persons ol any othet· clnss on the
bus. Not only that. but I a:rn su1·e that
many or the present Junior~ and Seniors
ctul recnll havin.: been a sked to give up
their seat• (i! thoy got then~ in the fir>t
place) to their olde..,, either collegiat.e or
civilian.
Now, 1 won't claim thnt we wc1·~ such
good little girls t hat we obliged without •
griJ>e, but lhe Jaet is tha~ wo did it. OM
though< that often helped soften tho blo"
\vas. that some day we would be upper·
cli,ssmen and would enjoy the stune -respect
nnd pl'ivileges.
Well. lh~ dny of hcing upper-clos..•men
has come. but I'm afl'aid the l'est. of our

us Hkes to a ppear snobbish ot· dcoumding,
bot we do expect and enjoy tho•e little
courteijie.s eomrnon in thiA college'~ h;story.
Few of os would ask it outright; we think
more or out• HJittle sist.et·::;' ' than that. Row­ever.
we would be most u.pprec:iati ve i! this
trnclition would be put Into n\ore- nctiv<·

most tri'"ial thoughts and this is but one:

called. Tradition has it that these archiiec·
tural wonders of steel and whalebone
reached s uch propa-rtions that two ladies
found it difficult to p3SS each other on the
boulevard. Now what. l have been puzzling
over is, j ust how did the fashionable wom·
an of the middle 19th century or so, dis,..
pose o£ the monster at the close of the
day's activities? Did she stand it up beside
her bed? It seems that only a boudoir of
ballroom size could accommodate both hoop
and bed, to sny nothing of the wearer. Or
