The wisdom of the faculty in the' adoption 'i1- ofthe class card system where there are so many Zwlilgllffll' students, is self-evident. As to the second, it seems as if students should give the few minutes at noon that is requisite for the exercises, and' which at that time inconveniences them scarcely at all, without compulsion 3 but the right of the Board of TrusteeS to render it compulsory is questionable. It is proper that a remark should here,be made in regard to the unjust and unwarranted manner in which the Chi Phi Fraternity was treated by the other MARIO, so-called, and the utterly false light in which it is made to appear. Further than to write one article, the Chi Phi Fraternity, collectively or individually, has had nothing whatever to do with the editing or publication of this book, and it ill becomes the editors of the other book to indulge in mud- slinging because the members of the Chi Phi Fraternity, unlike the Beta Theta Pi, rightly refused to take sides in an issue in which none of their interests were involved. Attention is called to the' merits of the advertisements. Care has been taken to 'keep out of the book all of doubtful character. It has also been the aim to keep the book free from vents of personal spite between either individuals or organizations. ' .,x . 4 , S 'HS 6 PB B If H- . Q ' -4,, i. sf., J: , R A

As to our reasons for the part we bear in this, it is not that we loved Peace the less, but that we loved Right more. If any of the images appear distorted, or any of the ,g'nrz1z's seem unjust to the parties for whom they are intended, let their future conduct prove the truth of their belief but if Ima andjkzst, thank the critic and remedy the weakness. ' The past year has again been a prosperous one for our school, the fall term showing a larger attendance than ever before in the history o'f the college, the outlook for the future is still better, for at the last session 'of the Legislature 315,000 was appropriated for the construction of a suitable building for the department of Botany and Horticulture, and 756,000 for the completion of the Chemical and Mineralogical laboratories, and the finishing of these will be but one more mark of the great strides that the O. S. U. is making to place herself in the front rank of colleges and to make herself worthy the name of l!7zwerszgy.
