Editorial. NION COLLEGE, in spite of the somber prophecies, is so o far as the students and faculty are concerned, in a progres¬ sive state. The students in general seemed to be inspired with a new spirit of enterprise both in intelligence and athletic matters. This may be due to the new system of marking and also to the ' new regulations that conditions must be made up before the be¬ ginning of the following year, but in either case we are glad of the change. Our monthly The Concordiensis” seems to have taken a new lease of life for this year, under the new corps of editors, not elected as formerly on partizan grounds, but elected in a general college meeting; in this way the best men are selected to carry on what ought to be one of the most important objects of a college student. In athletics we are doing much better than for a number of years. Foot ball has been re-estab¬ lished and was a success; although our eleven made mistakes, it will certainly do better next year. In our faculty we have to notice a number of changes. Prof. DePuy, resigning at the end of the year, was only with us a short time, but in that time he made many friends who wish him success in whatever pursuit he may follow. Prof. Staley is also gone and will be missed by all, but still we cannot but rejoice when we think that a Union pro¬ fessor was called to a higher station in life. To him we also wish success. Of our new professors we can say hut little, not be¬ cause there is little to say, hut on account of the Junior class not knowing them well. This much in regard to college and students in general. In regard to fraternity matters, we are glad to note a more liberal spirit among the societies. Although new all the societies are not represented on the board, we hope that past dif¬ ferences will he forgotten and all unite in the following years.
