EDITORIAL. mi»iuin,44 which is being built.” We do not know the cause of the delay in building Hubbard llall, hut we have faith enough in 44 the authorities' to believe that it is unavoidable. The College has improved since last year in several particulars. We are overjoyed to find Prof. Colville again in our midst The increase in the students’ oil bills will testify to the work done in his department. The arrival of a new Professor of English has necessarily revived the study of English literature ami composition. We have discovered that the literary societies were not dead, but only sleeping. The action of certain members of the Faculty with regard to them has been, to us, inexplicable. Hut notwith- standing the much-boasted interest of these professors, the socie- ties have survived. How much longer they will live, it would be hard to say. All things considered, the College work this year has been a great improvement over that of last year. The severity of the College curriculum has kept the number of students small. The history of our classes shows a remarkable example of the survival of the fittest. Hut we hope to see next year a great improvement in numbers as well as scholarship. We close our remarks and commend our work to our readers, wishing all honor and success to Old Kenyon and to all her friends. 10

EDITORIAL. Some members of the Faculty have objected to the publication of the Kevkillk this year. One reason which they stated was, that they feared it might contain too severe personalities against the students. This argument would certainly not have been made by persons who understood the case. If the students fear these personalities, why do they elect us ? We are only repre- sentatives, and as such we only carry out their wishes. It is true the editors are elected by the fraternities; but the fraterni- ties include all but a very small fraction of the number of stu- dents, and we have dealt with the non-fraternity men as gently as possible. Another argument was, that the Faculty feared that in our eagerness to ridicule we would injure the College. Did it ever occur to the Faculty that we might have the interest of the College as much at heart as they? We, being students ourselves, perhaps know better than men who seem to have forgotten their College days, what will induce students to come to Kenyon. A few rough jokes will not keep away half as many students as the knowledge that the Faculty will not allow even the College annual to be published without restrictions. With regard to those articles which may ridicule some of the Faculty, we simply wish to say that we publish them without any feeling of hostility towards the Faculty. Some of these articles are mere jokes, and any sensible man would consider them as such, and care nothing about them. Some are the expression of the feeling of the students for their professors. Whether these feelings are just or not we will not attempt to say; we simply give them expression. In any case, it will not hurt the professors “ To see thcmsils as it hers we them. It wad frae many a blunder free them. And foolish notion.” But enough of this discussion. The subject is not exhausted, but our readers probably are. We are glad to see Delano Hall completed with such prompt- ness and skill, and wish we could say as much of the new (iym- 0
