It is a great pleasure, and at the same time a great relief, to give our waiting friends the first issue of the great Weekly. We assure you it has been no easy task to organize and issue a new paper at this time of the school year, when everyone from professor down to freshman is engaged in a mad race against time with commencement as the goal. For this reason we have not attempted to make our first number a souvenir edition, surpassing all previous attempts and beyond the hope of future imitation, but we have simply brought forth such a paper as we shall issue every week next year, except that several departments are not represented here which will be regular features of succeeding issues. One department which we desire especially to promote will be devoted to the Alumni, and whenever any of them think of anything which will
amuse, interest or instruct their younger brothers and sisters, or whenever they do anything which the world ought to know or would like to know, we hope they will write to us or have some one write for them without waiting for a direct personal request. To our Alumni at other universities, we make a special appeal for letters about current events, about the institutions, about the writers themselves, about any matter of interest, or about no matter at all, if they are talented enough to write on such a subject in an interesting manner. To our local patrons we extend greetings and we hope you will find the Weekly worthy of your support. "If you like our goods tell your friends; if you don't like them, tell us." If you have any criticisms or suggestions to offer, come to us at once and don't be afraid of hurting our feelings, for we have none to be hurt. And if you ever experience the divine touch of inspiration, if you have written a poem, a sketch or a story, which your friends say shows unmistakable signs of genius, be kind enough to send it post-haste (and post-paid) to the literary editor. It may be the means of introducing you to immediate success and fame! To the advertisers we would say: you have now what you have long been asking—a single University paper, in which all interests are united and which has the support of the whole University, students and faculty alike. The desired end has been accomplished by the organization of a new company and a new paper, with a new name and new officers, governed by a new constitution under which everyone may obtain fair and equitable representation. By this arrangement no faction labors under the embarrassment of yielding to a rival, no one can complain of unfairness and no one in the University has any valid excuse for refusing his support. An advertisement placed in this paper will be read by everyone connected with the University. And if you have any doubt as to the truth or sincerity of our statements just read the circular letter signed by Chancellor Snow and Prof. Carruth, which we print in another column. Our managing editor, Mr. Patten, will be glad to show you the original.
