EDITQIQIHL USTOM has tixed upon the classes of American Universities certain definite and prescribed acts for each year of the college course. The two most important are the publishing ot' an annual by the Juniors, and the preparation of a Class-Day play by the Seniors. lt is in accordance With the former of these customs that the present Junior class issues the current volume of THE MIRAGE. It has been thc aim of the editors to show college life, to point out the relations of the students to each other, to the University, and to the facultyg and to make plain the faults and merits of the institution as viewed by the student body. The editors have not considered themselves a self-appointed board of correction, whose duty it is to supervise the general administration of the University. Neither have they thought it advisable to ignore those things which the students, generally, consider as detrimental to their best interests. The editors hold that it is the purpose of an annual to bring about a better understanding between the students on the one side and the faculty, trustees and alumni on the other, and to this end they have directed their efforts. Many events of importance to the University mark the period that has intervened since the publication of the l9G MIRAGE. Dr. Jolm, whose merit as a man and scholar is recognized, not only in the University, but throughout this and adjoining states, has seen tit to resign the presidency, and has entered the lecture field. Sorry as the students are to lose the services of Dr. John, yet it is With, if possible, even greater respect and contidence that they turn to his successor, Dr. Gobin. His mild but firm discipline, his enthusiasm in student affairs, his belief in honor, which placed a student's Word

above circunistantial proof, coupled with his strong administration of the l'niversity's affairs, have won the love and confidence of every loyal student. bnder Dr. Gobiirs adininistration there has been the most coniplete union of faculty and students that has been seen in the University in a decade. Knowing. as the students do, that they have the confidence ot' their president and teachers, they have borne in quiet the irksoine rules which a Board of Trustees has imposed upon society and social events at lie Pauw: rules well fitted to a graded school, but scarcely applicable to inen and women with years and ability sufficient to give them a place as thinkers in the ranks ofhigher education. Wve regret that these rules, once banished to the reahn ot' the obsolete. along with the Sunday-afternotui lecture and tl1e text- book recitation, have been disinterred, and, with the addition of others still more ancient, again thrust upon us. The opposition to athletics, which for years has been shown by a pa1't ot' our faculty, has almost disappeared, and in its stead has come aid and sympathy, the added impetus ot' which has again placed De Pauw athletics upon a firm basis, lVe believe that the results of the past season are sufficient to justify the confident assertions of our president that pure aniateur athletics could be made a success in a university. As a result ot' the earnest eftorts ot' Professors Priest and Baker and Mr. Meade, the athletic park, which fbi' many years has been a vision ot' the future, has at last taken definite shape in McKeen field. This gives us the best athletic park in the stateg and when all the ap- purtenances planned are supplied, it will be second to none in the west. The affairs of the athletic lnanagemcnt have been taken out of the hands of the old Board ot' Directors and vested in a board coni- posed of faculty, alumni and students. Thus all sides are repre- sented, and the students given the benefit of trained business advice, and an efficient check is placed upon over-enthusiasln.
