WHEN THE play is over the audience does not care to hear an epilogue. We do not believe our readers care for any resume of the volume of the Weekly which is completed by this number. They do not care whether we have "tried to do our duty" or whether we "recognize our short comings" or whether we "resign our pen conscious that our work must speak for itself," and so we shall not commit ourselves
on any of these points. We desire simply to thank the students, and members of the faculty, for their uniform kindness to the retiring board of editors, and to bespeak a like treatment for those who shall have charge of the paper for the remainder of the year.
A few "young" people persist in disturbing chapel service by their gossip and giggles, but they will be older bye and bye.
EVERY ONE is gratified at the success of the oratorical contest. The crowd was larger than usual; there was more than the usual amount of enthusiasm; and the contest itself was close and spirited. We have a right to be encouraged and to look forward with hope and confidence to the meeting at Topeka.
NEBRASKA BOASTS that she lost the least in football this year of any team in the league. We suggest that hereafter two pennants be awarded; a small one to the team which wins the most games, and a large one with plenty of gilt and two or three extra tassels on it, to the association which has the smallest deficit at the end of the season.
BASE-BALL AND track athletic interests are beginning to come to the front. The indications are that there will be plenty of good material for making a base-ball team, though some of the strongest men of last year are not in school. It is none too early for the managers of these interests to begin making preparations for the coming season. Everyone wants to see the University represented this spring by a first class base-ball team.
WE HAVE reached the end of another stage in our journey up the hill of knowledge, and we are permitted only a moment to take breath
