EDITORIAL NOTES. tWff IT ntnlntts nntKiiEiiom rrr finiiAc A Airatnn ne i has for the past two weeks there is not a shadow of a doubt but that the U. of N. will be more success ful in the next Field Day than it was in last. We are glad to see affairs assume this turn. Aside from the dj.iiiclo gain as much as possible in the inter col legiate contests. Physical exercise should not be neg lected by students because good health is indispensa ble for the best intellectual development.

Because the cityJKters publish society programs is no reason why TmHesperian should do likewise. The city papers are published daily, and moreover, they are intended for the most part for people who are not connected with the University. The public in general has no means of finding out the the programs except through the city papers, wliile
