The Weekly was delayed by the unusually prompt work at the postoffice. It was not the fault of the staff.

With this number of the weekly the present editorial board ceases to exist. We have no apologies to offer. We have tried to edit a representative college paper. We are very grateful to those who have been kind enough to tell us that we have in some slight measure succeeded. The editor wishes to especially thank the society, local, literary, and atheletic editors for their help. In addition others of the staff have been very faithful. As for next term, the paper will still appear and we have good reason for believing that it will be better than ever. Remember that the paper is partly yours individually. Do not lose interest in it. Give the in-coming force the assistance that they richly merit.
I am a day nearer home than I have been bfore,sang the poor student Friday morning.
The haste and insormality of our University life are made the excuse for conduct which would be quite unpardonable elsewhere. We are in danger of wandering from all standards of good form and in this way we will cease to be the examples for the untutored which are looking to us. There is one breach which may be mentioned: When a student receives a formal invitation to any function, it is expected that some acknowledgment should be made. The criticism which has been expressed by members of the faculty upon this point makes the same neglect especially grievous when committed by one of their number. The multiplicity of social events during these months offer an opportunity for reformation along the line referred to. We will be saved embarrassment many times if we begin now to be careful in the observance of this and other little things which we attempt to persuade ourselves are of no importance
