FOR the last time in 1891 we take up the edi
torial pen. As we look in retrospect, over
the past season we feel that we have in
deed good reason to congratulate the college on
the success of the outgoing year. It has certainly
been one of activity and advancement. The

our foot-ball team in the past fall, the prosperity
of the College—all are good causes for rejoicing
among the students. We can go to our homes
feeling that the past term has been one of pleasure
and profit to all.
Though we do not wish to crow prematurely
yet we feel that we have good cause to congratu
late ourselves that we have won the championship
of the State League. OAr team has won three
games, had one forfeited to it. Counting the per
centage as is clone in all leagues as the result of
games played, divided into games won, we hav..! a
percentage of 800.
Our closest opponent for the pennant is Buck
nell, she having won three, drawn one and lost
one, her final percentage is 750.
WE regret that in the November issue of the

so published as to lead the reader to suppose that
but a small portion was a clipping while the great
er part was from the pen of the editors. We
mention this that we may give credit, for a mast
excellent editorial, to the proper place.
WE have always prided ourselves upon the
beauty of our campus and have, in the
past taken considerable care not to de
spoil the sod by walking continually over one par
ticular place. During the last few months, how
ever, a number of paths in the grass have become
very noticeable, running from the main building
across the campus to several of the boarding houses
which lie along the main village street. The ef
fect of such paths is certainly to mar the beauty
