WE APPROACH our readers this week in a deeply apologetic spirit, and feel that some sort of reparation is due for the perpetrating upon them of an extra page of editorials in the last issue. Explanations, however, we have not space to make, and could not make without implicating the printer's "devil" who is our friend and who has offered to conduct this department any time that we may desire. We hope that none of those few chosen ones, who have privately confessed to us that the reading of these columns has been of profit to their souls, were surfeited by the excess of spiritual food last week so that they will "ne'er return for more." IN ANSWER to several inquiries made of different members of the Weekly board, we wish to say that all matter for the paper should be left in the Weekly office, next door north of the Psychological laboratory. Everyone should be enough interested in the paper to report such items of local news as are not likely to be discovered by the local editor, whose work, even with such assistance as might thus be given, is by no means easy. THERE WERE many people last Saturday night who thought like the "not unphilanthropic person," of whom Carlyle speaks, "that it were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible, and there left to follow their IN THE conventions and gatherings of different kinds held in Lawrence from time to time, there are always a few old students of the University, who gladly improve the opportunity to climb the hill once more. And the changes which they find to have taken place there are not such as make them regret that the "old times" are forever past, but rather such as fill them with pride at the better present.
