Another 'thing, never let The Hesperian fall into the management of a man who will 'permit any influence or patronage from without or within prevent him from advocating, the rights of the students indi vidually and collectively. Keep the frat and bar barian lines drawn closely if you value your literary societies. Make it treason for a barbarian to aid a frat enterprise that would destroy you if it had its power. Contribute, more liberally, reading matter for your paper and help swell the subscription list next fall to five hundred. Your paper will never be what it should be, so long as the editors- alone, who are already overloaded with work, must grind out every line of copy that is set up. Let there be a making up in this matter next year and The Hespe kian will deserve the compliment once passed upon it as the best edited paper in the west.
