IIlllec YEAR. HE year which has elapsed since the MAKIO cast its last re- flection, has been one full of changes throughout our Univer- sity, Changes which will leave their impress upon her for years and affect her entire future course. To classify their incidents and events and assign to each its proper weight and importance, would require a master hand indeed, one Whose power transcends that of mortals, and falls not short of a knowledge of the future. Our object at this place is not to attempt such a wholesale criticism, nor to inform our readers just exactly what will b0 the effect in future of the influences now at work upon our Alma Mater, but to recite from a studentls stand-point and with a stud- entis comments, what a year has brought forth and what fortunes the fates have wrought for us in that time. As far as the faculty is concerned, we have been both favored and ill-favored. Prof. Weber came to us at the beginning of the current college year to take charge of a long neglected Depart- mentethat of Agricultural Chemistry. Bearing in mind that the O. S. U. was originally chartered as an Agricultural and Mechani- cal College7 the delay in providing for this branch of learning has been almost inexcusable, and has been one reason that the Course in Agriculture has not been more popular. However, in Prof, Weber, the Trustees made an excellent choice. He has done everything in his field Of labor that could have been expected, and has, besides, established a reputation for culture and learning. It is with regret that we record the departure of Lieut. Ruhlen. During the three years that he had charge of the Military Organiza- tion, he had become known to all as a competent Officer and thorough gentleman. Of his successor, Lieut, Blocksom, we are pleased to say that he has well maintained the high standard of excellence established by Lieut. Ruhlen. By the resignation of Prof. Mendenhall, the University has sus- tained its greatest 1055. Having accepted the position of Electri-

Enterprises of the students have not been without encouragement, as is instanced by release from college duties for Washington's birthday, and for the entertainment of the N. W. Inter-State Collegiate Association, and by substantial aid in the latter case. To the students as well as to the officers, the editors are in- debted for the events recorded, the organizations described, and subjects furnished-not always intentionallyefor caricatures. Special obligations are acknowledged to Alcyone and Horton So- cieties for the cuts of their halls, which they kindly furnished. We regret that Browning hall is not shown, but the ladies thought it more in keeping with the usual privicy of their exercises not to publish a picture of their sanctum; and then it did not seem to them profitable to photograph tthe empty room, and'modesty for- bade that they should place their own likenesses in a book-but we do not wish to reflect at all upon the good looks of the halle or of the ladies. We are greatly indebted to Theta Delta Chi and Phi Alpha for excellent MAKIO material. The editors would thank the business men of the city for the advertising with which they have materially assisted in the pro- motion of this college enterprise. We would remind the students that they owe to these friends and to the college, the duty of trading with those who help us, and of avoidingfthose who refuse. The Class Historians have very kindly sent articles on their respective classes, and deserve our deepest gratitude. We ask the indulgence of our readers toward our humble eHorts, and would respectfully say without hesitation, exception, dlSSlIDll- lation, ostentation7 taffy or gall that this is in all respects the best MAKIO ever published.

L.l hFJ IO cal Experimenter at Washington; his departure has greatly crip- pled the Department of Physical Science, which had become through his efforts one of the most important here, and we fear that the greatest difficulty will be experienced in acceptably filling his still vacant position. Prof.McFar1and,also, has announced his intention of severing his long connection with the O. S. U,, to accept the Presidency of Miami University at Oxford, and while we shall rejoice to see him in what we trust will be an extended field of usefulness, still we regret exceedingly to lose his great ability and long experience in college matters. The loss of these two Professors we fear will not be soon counterubalanced, and from various reasons we are almostmade to believe that had some things in the management and general conduct Of the University been different, or as they once were, they might not have been prevailed upon to leave this Institution, the scene of their long and earnest labors. The recent action of the Trustees in Creating the new Chairs of Political Economy, separating the Department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering, and deciding to fill at once the now vacant Chairs of History, Physics and Drawing, is very gratifying to the students and friends of the University. This arrangement will bring Five new Professors into our Faculty, and With the increased facility for instruction in the Class room, which will be afforded, will do much to elevate our standing and bring us students. The influence of the Fraternities has been constantly increasing, and upon the whole, has been exerted for better ends than for- merly. ' Several outside Fraternities have received marked atten- tions from some of our students, and two organized efforts have been made this year, but without success, to obtain charters. The efforts of Theta Delta Chi were long and painful, and success seemed at one time to have crowned them, but by the interven- tion of the Grand Lodge, or the Kenyon Lodge, or an all-wise Providence, we have not been able to decide which, the scheme proved abortive, and for the good of Theta Delta Chi, we hope has entirely fallen through. We cannot censure too Severely the conduct of the two members of this Fraternity, one resident, the other alumnus, and a reputed general officer, in making false statements to the Board of Editors of the MAKIO, for the purpose of procuring a representation upon it. Not only did they state that a charter had already been pro- WA
