Friday, May llth. has been ·et ap:1rt hv the Faculty [or "Cedar D,1y " This i one of the days of the college year when everyone i out for a good time La t ye.u the day wa fine both in weasher and pcrfurm,rnces. 1- ur the pd t few year. the ~tudents of Cedarville have celebrated "Cedar D<ty'', Each cla i ou t with ·pirit wbich i· nut et·n 011 any other oay. An or.Hor ha already been cho~en and perparation i being rnade to make thi~ year the be t yet. Every cla bould be bu y getti11g th ·ir " tunt ·" in shdpe Don't wait until the last day ur twu and then come oLJt without any .tunt at all. \Ve ha,·e little enougli pi~it anyway, u let u have one day in which v.e can how tho e around u that where there i ,\ litte moke there i till a little fire. Re– member there is to be a ''big dinner" tou, u prep;.re also for it. The writer read recently an article on "Hit>roglyphic " which applie well to some of our own tud ent . It pertained tu the cu tom of variou tudent to scratch or whittle or engrave their cngnome1 on their ciass rnum desks. In every man there i a certain en c ot beauty; it· exists,;however, in different degrees in different per on . Thi i no doubt a crmvenient method of pas ing away a tediou recitation period, yet uch a prdctice is decidedly contrary tu ethical principle In the fir t place it de troy the ~n e of beauty in the individual. 'u reasonable being would contend for a moment that tu deface a puli hed ur– face with a pen knife conld po sibly heighte11 the aesthetic taste. Joreover, there are alway other means or perpetuati!'g the memory of the varinu cla es without imprinting upon a de.k a column of character uch as '05, '06, '07 and so forth. In the econd place such a practice only demon trate the egotistical tendencies of the author. He evidently i deeply in love with the appearance of hk own name to emblazen it forth to the world. And finally we all know the old adage concerning certain individual' name in public places.
