...fifth number of the present volume of the Advocate, which will appear tomorrow, is hardly up to the standard which the last few numbers has set. The editorials, with one exception, are on matters of general college interest, and the position of the Advocate in this number will be heartily endorsed by the members of our University. The proposition that medals should be given to the '88 tug-of-war team is an excellent one.
