AT the close of the present month the class of
'9l bids farewell to their career as college stu
dents and step forth to grapple with the more
serious affairs of business life. While they have,
as a class, never distinguished themselves in the
athletic field, yet they have always shown their fair
share of interest in the affairs of the students, and we
do not doubt that they will continue that interest in
the broader field of duty which will hold as alumni.

have been associated for several years, leave them,
and the class of '9l no doubt feels same regret at

WE are pleased to note the amicable relations,
which at present exist between the faculty
and students body of our college. That the
two bodies have come into a better understanding
of each other is easily seen by those who have
been about the college for any length of years.
The'old spirit of antagonism has died away, and
where formally there was a tendency to pull
independently of each other we now find them
ready and willing to work together for the best in
terests of the institution. The introduction of the
Cut System, the aid the members of the faculty
have given our athletics, the recent granting of a
holiday on June - Ist, and innumerable other inci
dents of a like nature, which have occurred in the
past year, are but proofs and fruits of this amicable
relation.
That both the students and faculty appreciate it,
we do not doubt ; that it will bear further
fruits, we do not doubt.
There is one thing, however, that we hope will
soon be done away with by the united efforts of
both bodies, and that is the lateness with which
our college closes. That it is in convenient to both
we feel certain ; and surely some arrangement
could be made by which we will get away from
