INDEiJt. 25 W — ' 90 — E have started on another year of our college course, hoping it will be even more of a success than that of last year, as there is still room for improvement. It does not seem possible that the first year of our course could pass away so quickly, but as our time is fullv taken up with studies and college games, we do not realize how time flies. It appears but a few months ago that we were taking our entrance examinations. As to the games, some of us think that there is little need of our pres- ence, for there will be enough wdio understand them without our aid. But if all should think thus there would be no one to carry them on. After a student has attended recitations all the morning, he should take some physical exercise before applying hjmself to study in the evening. By so doing he can grasp the ideas put forth in his different studies more easily. A student needs physical as well as mental training to keep his constitution from breaking down, for if this is injured he cannot be of much use in the world. We hope that in base-ball, next spring, each one will endeavor to make it his duty to be present and take his share of the responsibihty in getting together a strong team. In foot-ball we can see that some one has been pushing things, and we find as a result a very good team, considering our short experience; but for all this, we cannot overcome all obstacles at once, and we can accomplish much only by our perseverance. We were victorious in our foot-ball game, but in the tug-of-war luck was against vis. We took no inconsiderable part in subduing the Hames which threat- ened to destroy one of the college buildings this past fall. The usual cane rushes were abandoned this year for lack of " silica " on the part of the Freshman class. We. invite them to " come again ' " at some more favorable opportunity after they have become fully " oxidized " to the ways of the college. G. 4
