displayed by the majority of their number for our undertaking. We are aware that without their good will and friendly aid what is would not have been. And now as to the book itself. We are aware that we can not please everyone. Our aim, therefore, has been to please the largest number of our patrons. If, in looking over the volume, you iind that which you dislike, before you pass judgment, pleaselask yourself whether you are in the majority or minority and how much you have aided the publication. Then upon the answers to those questions base your judgment as to whether or not your wishes should have been considered or the wishes of some one else. . i Enrrons. pegs? 7' Nl' Rf 1-

active affairs of life, that it turns out one-sided men, narrow instead of b1'O3Cl, superficial instead of liberally educated. The student life at De Pauw for the last year has been marked by a general fraternalism and non-clannishness scarcely equaled in the history of the University. Only once has the element of faction marred or attempted to mar the success of college enterprises. One thing is to be deplored, however, namely, the increasing frequency of resignations from the fraternities. There seems to be too great haste on the part of many to pledge or initiate a man, and in their eager- ness they forget that dissatisfaction may result. Such action tends to weaken the very elements the fraternity should foster. His oath to his frat, which every initiated fraternity man must give, based as it is upon his sacred honor, can not be broken without a loss of selfirespect. The current year has seen an upward step in the course of the journalism at De Pauw. There can be no doubt that the Weekly 'l is better conducted and more appreciated than was the same publica- tion last year. All journalism needs here to place it on a firm basis is the free election of ofiicers and less regard for the representative system. In accordance with a precedent too long in vogue at De Pauw, every fraternity demands representation, whether that frat has a man that can fill the place or no. The holder of a college office seems to feel that it isthe office that brings him honor, not his action in that office, and that he has equal honor .whether he does that for which he was elected or not. Small as is a college office, there are many each year in which the representative incumbent is as Worth- less and fits as loosely as the spoiled kernel in an English walnut. We fail to understand that code of honor by the rules of which a man can see his colleagues in the enterprise do the work, and then he claim part of the honor for himself and frat. The editors hereby express their thanks to the members of the University, both faculty and students, for the kindly enthusiasm
