...shall, some time during the next few months, elect an editor from the freshman class, possibly more than one, if there are candidates of sufficient ability. As yet eighty-nine has contributed but meagerly to our columns. Short articles of interest to students, communications, direct and to the point, on some live subject, will always find place in the paper.

Men like Canon Farrar always possess great influence on undergraduate thought and deed, - an influence that goes far to direct aright a student's after life. As we feel so strongly that the benefit received from hearing words full of weight and inspiration from men of ability is great, we can but imitate little Oliver, and cry for "More." Will it not be possible for the authorities to arrange an opportunity for us to listen to Mr. Haweis before his departure from...
