EDITORIAL NOTES.
Some of the students take exchanges from The
Hesperian office without permission. We have no
objection to students reading exchanges in the
office; but the papers should not be carried away.
They are the property of The Hesperian. The
exchange editor should have use of them. With his
consent others may take papers from the office. They
should not be taken before he lias an opportunity
to read them. Picas1 bear this in mind.
We should begin to think about some way to pro
vide the new students, that will enter next fall, with .
literary advantages. At. present, there are over three
hundred students that are not connected with any
society whatever. They have no opportunity for
literary work. Tl e old societies are crowded, and
cannot take in any new members. Something must be
done for those that are denied these literary advant
ages. This is a question that will bear consideration.
The students and the faculty of Leland Stanford
Jr. University, have organized themselves into two
branches of the United Stiitcs government, executive
and legislative. The faculty are nt the head of the
organization. They have the management of it in
their hands. Professor Geo. 13. Howard was elected
the first president. The professor thinks it will be
of great benefit to all concerned.
The officers are elected semi-annually. These
frequent changes give students an opportunity to
become acquainted with the various departments of
the government.
The object, of course, is to study the different
branches of our government. It affords an excellent
opportunity to become acquainted with the United
States constitution. At Leland Stanford, all busi
ness is conducted just as it is in the United States
congress at Washington. Bills are drawn up and
the whole routine of legislative enactment is gone
through with. ProfessorHoward says that the stud
ents take a great deal of pains whh the form, and
with the contents of the bills. He tells us that all
the work is done systematically and thoroughly.
Would it not be a good plan to organize something
of alike naturein the University of Nebraska? Professor
Caldwell is heartily in sympathy with the idea, pro-
