BY o. H. souTHMAyD.

Will be presented IN this column from
week to week SO if you want to learn
what we are doingatthe best education
al institution in this orner of the
world, all you will have to do will be to
glance through this column and when
you have reached the end you will
know-just as much rs you knew be-
fore. We hope that we can prevail
upon our alumni to favor us with n
communication of one sort and another
from time to time so that at least there
may be little variety in the things we
shall serve up to you for your bene-
tit(:). We are sure that we shall have
considerable difficulty many times in
making both ends meet, that is the
ends of this column, so when we say
nothing worth the saying please re-
member; that we may have said some
thing in the past, or may in the future,
and overlook our failure of the present.

students are trodden upon, We would

of '9s, to which the editor will be
responsible, theoretically. However,
we reserve the right to name the
weapons if taken to task by any n so
it would be better perhaps if that n
would grin and bear it, and go and do
not likewise in the future.

students recite we might reverse ou:
decision did we not feel sure that the
melons are not to blame for a zero nov
