The Trouble at Colby.

1t is an unspeakble pity that the
close of the collegiate year at Colby
should be marred by such unpleasant
friction-to use no harsher term-as mas
marked the relations of FACULTY anu
students The college has suffered
severe blow and its effects, direct and
indirect are certain to be felt for some
time. And it is all the harder because
the blow comes from the hand OF those
who love the college and are anxious to
promote its welfare. 1t can safely be
stated that both sides have made mis-
takes and have been at fault from the
first of the trouble whose details have
been 50 extensively aired This is so in
most uualfels and misunderstanding
and never more certain to be so
than in cases when college boys figure
on one size. They mean we'll and are
all right at heart. and if those IN
authority over them use a little tact
and keep in mind the fact that they
were once boys themselves everything
usually goes smoothly.
The boys have various customs and
traditions to uphold which seem some
what foolish to outside parties but the
worst way in the world to break down
these customs and traditions is to
threaten the boys as to their punish
ment should they persist in them. 1t
is better to lead college spirit than to
try to kill il or crush it. In this case
the boys undoubtedly went too far in
! their celebration and disturbances, and
they are not excused by the fact that
other classes used to do the same thing
or that they We're practically dared

year. On the other hand the offense

other classes and the attempt by use OF
an ultimatum to force the faculty t.

college discipline and was a sensational
procedure before which the faculty

1t isn't pleasant to note that the re-
public of Cuba is buying less from this
country while at the same time it's
commerce with Spain, Germany and
France is increasing. This is shown.
however, by the official figures of the
port of Havana. Nearly half the
Cuban imports are from this country
but there was a falling off in 1902 from
1901. while the imports from the three
countries named above showed an in
crease. OF the Cuban exports this
country takes about three-fourths.
That many Spaniards are still going to
Cuba is shown by the fact that of the
1885 immigrants in 1902, SS77 were
from Cuba. OF the remainder 1868 were
Americans.

With tired, worried smile.
