DUST TO DUST

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Why the number of Seniors each spring who announce their immediate entrance into those dubiously holy bonds of matrimony does not include all of the Senior class is really astounding. Breathers there a man with nostrils so for from sensitive that he relishes the dust of Senior chambers?

Of course no college paper ever must touch upon such minute, even microscopic matter as dust. But until the Senior dormitories lose their dust, stirred only by the infrequent and maladroit ministrations of the femme de chambre or "goodie", a diminutive, hundreds will go forth from Harvard College lined with dust.

Nor is there any particular reason why well built dormitories should thus fill-with dust. There are, even in such hinterlands as this of greater Boston, vacuum cleaners. And somewhere there are funds to purchase, if not better "goodies", at least carpet sweepers. Man, indeed, must all too soon return to dust. The Senior year at Harvard need not be such a direct threat of doom.
