WE HAVE little to say by way of a prolegomenon. Like every college editor that ever edited we have an unswerving determination to "truly represent our constituents." We do not wish to be like the weather clerk who controls the temperature, nor, on the other hand, like the thermometer which merely registers it; but would occupy an intermediate position, neither presuming to mould public opinion nor allowing ourselves to be wholly controlled by it, but striving to guide and suggest according to our light.
We claim the college editor's privilege to be more or less egotistical and admonitory, but are perfectly willing that others shall smile a little at our conceits, provided that they take us seriously when we are in earnest.
THE "WEEKLY" begins the new year full of hope, and not entirely lacking in confidence as to its ability to fulfil its high calling. It has come to feel quite at home where only a year ago it was an entire stranger and somewhat uncertain as to the reception in store for it. The "WEEKLY" was first a sort of compromise paper, burdened with the duty of representing impartially two antagonistic factions. But it has passed this stage, and no longer feels that it represents two halves but one whole. And by this assurance of the good will of all it is inspired to do its best to be worthy of universal support.
TO THE strangers among us we extend a hearty welcome, and wish you the fullest enjoyment of the many good things to be had in the University of Kansas. And among these good things we can not refrain from mentioning the "WEEKLY" and bespeaking for it your support. In becoming a subscriber to the "WEEKLY" or, better yet, a stockholder in it, you will be improving one of the best opportunities to get an insight into University affairs, and to become familiar with University life. Your connection with the University paper will help to make you at home and will contribute largely to your happiness—as well as to ours.
