EDITOR VIEWS:—When thinking over the past contests in college politics, and of the innumerable rivalries, jealousies, disappointments and bad feeling resulting therefrom, I often think "why do we do this?" Is there any sufficient return for the friendships broken, the enemies made and the time spent? Surely this is bad. Then why do we continue in the same old line, and each succeeding generation of students tell this same old story? All the honors obtainable in the college course are not equal to the bitterness of heart and hostility gained of those who ought to be friends. Valuable time is taken from useful employment, and all too soon the struggle against one's fellow men begins. A struggle which in future years can only draw from us feelings of regret and amazement that we engaged in the work. If there must be rivalry, let it be gentlemanly, honorable and honest. Scheming and wire pulling and chicanery are soon enough learned, without thus introducing them so soon into our lives. Let us then be straightforward in our own actions, and charitable in our judgments, and beware of letting a little society election or newspaper controversy draw us to actions and thoughts which we will remember in future years with disgust. Y. Ed. VIEWS:—It is with pleasure that we note the general prosperity of our University and the interest they take in all things relating to college work. Our societies enter upon their new year with increased zeal and numbers. Our papers are supported liberally, and well may we boast of a weekly and a monthly paper, both of which do honor to our institution. Not a question of any import arises that is not taken up by a sufficient number of students to make it a success. The societies are now judiciously considering a lecture course We have no reason to doubt that they will act wisely and furnish the students with a course of lectures which will be in keeping with their good taste. The Oratorical Association has been reestablished on a firm basis with a new constitution; everything flourishes. But we would like to say that in some things our students allow their zeal to destroy their good judgment and carry them to extremes, which are not to their credit; but the contrary. An example of this occurred last Monday in a meeting of the Oratorical Association. Yells and disorder were indulged in, which are characteristic of Indians rather than of thoughtful students. This is a severe criticism, but extreme cases require extreme remedies. Students should always remember that business can always be more judiciously disposed of at the calm level of a collected mind, than at a feverish heat of excitement, and that such action breeds ill feeling and disgrace.
