The paper wishes faculty and students a Merry Christmas. $$ * * * $$ The editorial writer on a college paper has his troubles. He can't touch politics, the people will say the school teaches political doctrines He can't roast the frats, they won't support the paper. Cut off from both national and local issues, his path is filled with the proverbial thorns and cobble stones. We really wonder if it wouldn't be wise to eliminate the editorial column. $$ ** $$ Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The meeting next Wednesday afternoon will be a Christmas service. Miss Rose Meredith left Wednesday for Kansas City, where she will spend a month with members of the State association, who are founding a college settlement in the slums. She will return to her work in the University after the Christmas holidays. Last Wednesday's meeting was in charge of the missionary committee, and was addressed by Mrs. Henley. She gave a most interesting account of her travels in France and Switzerland, and described the Passion Play which she attended at Oberammagau. She had with her a number of photographs obtained during her travels, which the girls were much interested in examining after the meeting. SOCIETY.

The Sophomores gave their party last night in Eldridge Hall. The hall was prettily decorated; oysters were served and Sommer's orchestra furnished music for the dancers. It was perhaps the most elaborate class party given for several years, and the Sophomores deserve congratulations on the success of it.
