EDITORIAL NOTES,
1 The second number of the University Studies
has just appeared. It contains three able articles,
written respectively by Professors Bennett, Sherman
and Rachel Lloyd.
As yet the University Studies are only an exper
iment; but judging from the reception given the firs:
number and the merits of the second, the office of
the Studies will be filled to the utmost satisfaction.
The Studies will be one of the principal means, to
direct the attention of the educational world toward
the University.
It is expected that sufficient funds will be avail
able during the present year to complete the armory
and fit up the gymnasium. If this becomes possible
the studeitfs are to be congratulated. Physical exer
cise is an absolute necessity for mental activity. It
is true that considerable vigor can be aroused by a
six mile walk to the surburbs but the condition of
the grades and walks on the streets prevent this being
done with safety. That gymnasinm should have been
given to the students years ago. The University has
bright students with acute minds but it is not with
pleasure that one sees so many of those students with
bowed heads and round shoulders. It isjust as much
the duty of the University to develop sound bodies
as well as sound minds among the students.
The students of the University can if they will
make some desirable changes as regards their col
lege journal. At present The Hesperian is published
smi-monthly. So far as possible it does the work ex
pected of it. Now the suggestion has been made
and it is a good one that steps be taken toward
making The Hesperian a monthly journal, some
what increased in size and slightly difieren. in char
acter. Also, to begin the publication of a small
weekly paper, devoted almost exclusively to local
news. At present much of the news becomes stale
before publication. So long as contributed articles
do not as a rule find a place in The Hesperian and.
few clippings are made, the editors must strive to the
utmost to prepare sufficient copy of satisfactory merit
for each issue. Of necessity the work is hastily done,
The plan above suggested would allow the publica
tion of a paper of greater literary merit, and above
all of a- weekly paper full of recent news would be
