...this recommendation was not approved by the class and there was no dropping at all. Before the end of the meeting it was universally admitted, I think, that it would have been better to drop the names as the committee recommended.

It is perhaps for this reason that, as is the common complaint, so few will enter into competition for the position, or will accept its responsibilities when offered them. Already the HERALD thinks that it remarks a change for the better in this respect in the general college sentiment. For this reason it believes that a frank statement of its position will result for the best. A college paper in the truest sense is distinctly...
