Wheth er or not our efforts, during the past year, have been successful we must leave entirely to the stu dents to judge. We have been ably assisted, though, in' those efforts by a number of the ' pro fessors and students, and we desire to thank those persons for the hearty interest, in the welfare of the paper, which they have shown.
