'N.W.S.A. g The Diary of Hiram Stepfast, Esq. CEditor's Note: This interesting dairy was found only a few days before we went to press. Its value is so great that it is being given a permanent place in the Aggie. Little did our friend Hiram dream of his notes and meditations going down to pos- terity, and in his almost daily musings one gains an insight, not only into his simple mind, but into the life at N. W. S. A. So, as you read these lines bear in mind that Hiram wrote seriously that he might have a remembrance of his school days. No doubt he misses his diary keenly, but his loss is our gain. It is printed just as it was written by Hi.j Sept. 29-Well, I'm on the train now. Laft home at five this mornin.
