EDTTORIAL
In the last number of the JFdnmlmn, there
is an editorial which scorns to have some
thing to say about the Hesperian. In fact,
the first part of the editorial is good, but it
is weakened by the last part. It is begun
by a quotation from the Hesperian. That
does very well. The editor could not have
chosen more wisely. This quotation is fol

is good also. Tt expresses the sentiments of
the Hesperian exactly. The editorial dicus

Peter isn't going to ask whether we were a
'Pal' or a 'Sig' before he lets us in' In
other words, the editor says, "Now if you
don't let mo play with your doll, I'll just
take my doll and go right home." We do
not object very seriously to the idea that the
frat-barb question should be allowed to root.
We were disgusted long before the present
year with the worthless arguments and cease
less cant put forth on both sides .of the fra
ternity question. The Hesperian has in the
present year said less, we believe, about
frats than the Hesperian of previous years,
for some time back. We remained silent
not because wo were afraid to speak; not
"because our views had changed any; but be
cause we desired to see the two factions take
