In the "battle royal ' of the different elements of the
College, the LANCE, has indeed been a Free Lance, now en
tering the tourney to fight for the Faculty, then for the
students; now for one class, then again for another. But
although it has fought for and against them all, binding it
self in allegiance to none, yet it has not been eratic in its
actions for it has had but one standard—that of right. And
to uphold this standard it has without fear dared to face
the wrong even tho' it opposed the majority. It has always
sought to determine who Was right, and then without par
tiality or favor—
And now it enters the tournament for the last time to
fight for itself. And the first foe it strikes is—delinquent
subscribers. On the first of April the present Business
Managers will turn their work over to the new one, and it
is important that all accounts be settled by that time. Many
of you will undoubtedly say, "Why, they have never asked
me for it." Well, what if they have not asked you person
ally they have clone so indirectly. And can't you take a hint,
or must they kick you. Do not wait for them to hunt you
up, but go hunt them up. If you don't know who they are
yet, you will find their names opposite the first page of each
issue, and a letter placed in thL , post office will be sure to
reach them. So please come early and avoid the rush, "for
the time aint long anymore."
"Pull tilt against their foes,
Where thickest fell the blows,
And war cries mingling rose,
Rode the bold FRI LANCE."
