 EDITORIAL. 7 -iVe have said our number has been well retained. Indeed it has been almost a “ constant quantity.” The reader will observe that the use of the term “constant quantity ” is evidence that our class is mathematically inclined. This is true, “ conditionally, In fact, we can recall an instance of constancy to such a degree as will, no doubt, take the “silver cup” of ’75. Gambier is remarkable, chiefly in that there is no other town exactly like it. Situated on a beautiful “ Hill ’ the foot of which is bathed by the pellucid waters of the picturesque Kokosing, it sleeps, quietly breathing the pure country air, disturbed only by the “ mellow notes of the hooting owl.” Were a stranger to pass through our town during vacation, it would doubtless suggest to him “The Deserted Village,” if he were versed in Goldsmith. And indeed, with a little imagination, the suggestion might arise were he to happen along during term-time. “All quiet along the Kokosing,” except occasionally a harsh or Dire-ful sound on horn or flute, which only serves to prove that no sound is often more musical and far more pleasant than some so-called musical sounds. Except the natural disintegration, our town is also a “constant quantity.” There are those who add such a charm to our little village that some students, on certain “conditions,” are willing to add a year to their regular course of study. To these, ’ 74 would now commit the destinies of ’75. We deem a word of advice to Sophomores not amiss. “He not wise in your own conceits.” Of course, you know many things, but most of you have yet one thing to learn, which is, that you don’t know anything. Dear sirs, many of your so called original and most sage remarks were known to the world long before you arrived. As to Freshmen, we would only say, remember that you must some day be “wise as Sophomores,” and we hope you may get through this sopht state all safe. Embryotic Freshmen, alias “Barbs,” it would only be a waste of precious time and the nec- essary materials for us to give you any advice suggested by our wisdom and experience in College. Such “meat ” would be too strong for you not yet arrived at the downy state. What you most need is extract of Latin and Greek grammar, given in small doses, six times a week. By way of encouragement, we would say to you persevere, and you will reach the goal. Be sure that you walk, all the way. f
