[[/advertisement]] Institute Yesteryears (Concluded from page 38) than had entered with the Class of 1889 in the previous autumn. Contrasts in Class meetings were reported by The Tech as follows: "The Class of '89 had a hard time at their last meeting. By diligent work and by sending out scouts to bring in those who were playing tennis, the quorum of 40 was procured. The number for the quorum was then reduced to 25, and 15 men were allowed to go out. The remainder then settled down to business, but unfortunately accomplished nothing, none of the candidates obtaining a majority sufficiently large to elect them. Finally, the meeting was adjourned in despair. "The Class of '90 held its first meeting in Rogers 15. ... Great expectations were made, as a rush was expected with '89, and each student was compelled to show his first-year attendance card before entering the room. He then passed through a double line of 'sluggers' of the class before reaching the seats. No rush occurred, however, and as far as the upperclassmen were concerned, the meeting was enjoyed in peace. "An attempt was made by some of the class to introduce electioneering tactics, and a printed ticket was got out. This attempt, however, resulted only in signal failure." Temporary officers were chosen and there was appointed "a committee of five to draw up a constitution and report in two weeks, when the permanent officers would be elected." "It is very hard for a student to be unable to spend Christmas at home, and yet this is the case with a great many of us at the Institute," wrote the editor of The Tech. "There is a constantly increasing number of students who come from a distance to pursue their courses of study here, and it seems to us as of some provision should be made for a Christmas holiday, so that they can pass that joyous festival at home. "This is about the only prominent educational institution in the country where no Christmas holiday is given, and there seems to be a growing dissatisfaction among the students in regard to this. "A week given as a holiday would only put off the semi-annual examinations, and make the second term begin and end a week later, this taking it out of the very long summer vacation. ... It is sincerely hoped that the Faculty will consider the matter favorably, and grand the much needed recess." [[advertisement]] PHILIP H.
