 The following editorial appeared in the Yale News yesterday, that being the first issue under the new board.
 With this issue the '96 board takes control of the News. The policy of the editors will not differ in any ma terial way from that of their immediate predecessors, who have done much for the university and for the reputation of the paper by forming public opinions on matters of general interest. It will neither be ultra-conservative, nor break loose from precedent, but will try to make the News a complete record of college events and medium for ex- pressing the best sentiment of the stu dents. To this end communications on university topics will be received with kllStHhS, COIIGSpOHu6lllS lGOlllE d0SuISQ that their name will be known to the chairman alone, if they so desire.
 The News is convinced that the fac ulty is ever active in it's efforts for the welfare of Yale Whenever 1t offers suggestions or criticisms, 1t will be only because the editors, in close touch with all branches of college life, believe them necessary. .
 Every effort to create among under graduates more serious spirit, wheth- CT shown in competition for high schol- arship and literary honors, in renewed debating interest, in the more general use of the library, or in any other way, will be welcomed. The News will give hearty support to every student relig- ious movement it will do what 1t can to bring Shelf. and academic to- gether on a footing of greater equality; and will denounce with emphasis any thing threatening the Yale spirit or the | democratic life of the campus.
