EDITORIAL EIGHTY-FOVR. A ■M £= Bdit0riwii+’S4 1 ' I HERE is, probably, no stage in life in which man is called upon to do more deeds of charity, and with less credit than during the SophtH more year of his college life. He is usually looked upon as some eagle-eyed monster prowling around with a dark lantern in search of an in- nocent Freshman, upon whom lie may wreak his vengeance. But far differ- ent his duties and desires. He seeks, from the time he enters upon his second year, to prove himself an aid to the class below him. It is to him thnt the newly-weaned Freshman looks for advice nnd protection; and it is front him alone tiint this advice and protection can be obtained.

Often docs the faithful Sophomore take himself away from his college duties to call upon the Freshman in his room nnd there soothe the heart of him so recently taken from his mother’s tender arms. How many times does he deprive himsnlf of an evening’s enjoyment, that he may cheer up the homesick Freshman, by telling him the college legends, how wicked the Juniors arc nnd bow much the Seniors know; or smoking with him in his room, content to sit upon the floor, while “ mine host ” has a royal seat upon the table. Such are the duties that fall upon the Sophomore, and it is in this charitable work that tie is engaged, while the Junior is being fas- 11 =.-............ .............,.......— ■
