THE UNDERGRADUATE CHAIR

ON FIRST appearance the senior canes would seem to be only material evidences of a college tradition, but further inquiry proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the fourth-year men in the last week of May need their canes for physical and moral support especially during the comprehensive examination period when faces hang low and spirits hang even lower.

However, before the seniors entered into Baker Library and their final last-minute quest for knowledge as dispensed by formal education in most instances, they, as a class, did stop long enough to cast opinions on several important controversies in order that the juniors—who started out on the college path bellowing "the Hell with '36"—and others in the community might derive benefit from their higher education and longer experience.

Because the seniors have practically completed their Dartmouth student life, the votes cast by this august group should carry some authority. We refer to the annual class balloting on the most popular, most intellectual, and sundry other "mosts," as well as on several important decisions.
