The new and peculiarly-formed ideas, which at present are causing students some anxiety, are doubtless the offspring of progressive spirits. Be that as it may, with some we agree, with others we do not. Our bumps of veneration are sufficiently developed to make us think that prayer- day for colleges should be set aside for Divine worship, and not passed in the pursuit of the Goddess of Wisdom. Of other changes we will but say that a judicious institution of them will be more effec¬ tive than attempts to erase, at one move, customs which have existed so long. ’T is our fate to chronicle the death of those once a part of Union. Professor Hawley was with us so short a time that we scarcely knew him ere he slept the last great sleep of death. No more through the dingy halls of south college is seen the time-worn face ot Aumie — she has become a thing of the past. “ The present ever glides into the days of yore.” But we live in the to-morrows rather than in the yesterdays of life. If our first attempt at book-making reaches not your ideal, grant us another trial, and be not surprised if ’87 should soar to the pinacle of literary fame.
