WEDNESDAY, JJNE 13, 1906 EDITORIAL Once more the Commencement season has rolled around. • Joy and sadness are intermingled and one hard ly knows which is in the ascendant as the last few days come and go. Four long but pleasant years have been spent by the graduating class. Here their, lives have been moulded, here they have made acquaintances and friends, and it is with a feeling of regret that they leave the familiar and dear fur roundings of "Old State." As, from this point, one looks back over the days spent here, he notices the gaps that have been made. Death and other agents have thinned the ranks, leaving the roll far smaller than it was last September. Then, {OD, the College has lost its president, always an active man in the interest of State. Great things have been accomplished by him in his quar ter century of conscientious and de voted service to his charge. Few presidents can show an equal accom plishment, none, we confidently be lieve, could effect such wonderful re- THV, STATE COLLEGIAN sults under the discouraging and unfavorable conditions that Dr. Ather ton has met. Once more, greetings to President Atherton and those who labored with him. , During the past year the Collegian has become more firmly established under the efficient supervision of T. F. Foltz and W. J. Dumm. These T. F. FOLTZ two men have been associated with the publication since its birth, and have labored hard to make it a suc cess. As 'to the results of their efforts, the paper itself is a fitting witness. They have worked under difficulties, but have done their best. W, .1. DUMM In this, the last issue of the college year, we wish to acknowledge our ap preciation of their work. For the coming year, improvements are con templated. They cannot, howaver, be accomplished unless every man gives his support to the project. Once more exams.are over and-the student can turn from the daily. grind,. to thougts in lighter vein. How the coming of Commencement thrills the Freshman, about to enter the Sopho, more kingdom ! The stately Juniors have either passed Hydraulics or have flunked with dignified optimistic hopes, while the Seniors are thinking of "the wide, wide world." It is the season of the downfall of corduroys, flannel shirts and jerseys, for the eternal feminine rules the campus, and the students of necessity don their "fuss ing" apparel. Fellows who were never known to iodic at a girl during the college year, are now proudly showing a sister,moth er, or "queen" all the , places of inter est about the college, and expect them to enthuse over "flag scraps" and "cider scraps" that they never could understand. Everyone is happy ;it is the season of happiness and good feel ing towards everybody. The world is still before us, and having so much, "let us be there with content." With this issue, S. H. Yorks, 'O7, assumes active management of the COLLESiAN. Give him yt.iir hearty support throughout the comig nyear. You own it to your college publidation which he represents. Class Day Exercises. On Monday afternoon occurred the annual class day exercises of the graduating class on the front campus. After a selection by the band, George McGee, president of the class . gave" a farewell address. P. M. Jordan de livered the Pipe Oration and W. G. Heckathorne produced uncontrolaNe laughter by the presentation to men:l -bers of the class of characteristiq mementoes. The exercises were brought to a close by the entire cl.lss singing "Come Brothers, Raise t 1,43 Song."-
