No. 3. mtoxxciL T O the weary and desperate writer o f college editorials the beginning of the college year comes like what so distinguished a man as the late Mr. howell was not afraid to call “ a new lease of life.” A l l the old subjects which have been worked to exhaustion in the years gone by present them selves again like the bird in the old fable, or like the returning feline of our modern ballad, in all their pristine freshness and beauty. The running track, college customs, the needs of the H e r a l d , the glee club, athletics, and all the rest, the themes that never grow old, are with us again as ever and the ideas which w ill have run so dry before spring now crowd themselves upon us in delightful but confusing abundance. This is pleasant but it is not all. Just at this time too, before political machines have got to grinding and while things are running quietly and smoothly under the governing and tempering influence of class and college spirit it is possible to treat in a delightfully general and indefinite way of some matters which, in particular cases, become delicate and dangerous subjects of comment. Gentle and disinterested disparagement of a wrong system or policy, the danger of whose adoption is only among the possibilities of the future, is likely to be of more weight than bitter denunciation with a possible sus picion of partizan interest in the midst of things, after someone seems to. have been hurt.
