Our Policy.
With this issue TnK Hespeeian enters
upon its twenty-fifth year of existence. It
has, like all other periodicals, had its ups
and downs, but at all times it has found a
place in the student body, and today it is an
important factor iD college life.
Our task is to carry on what has been
commenced by others. For this in spite of
all disadvantages, the new board will labor
faithfully. It is our desire and shall be our
policy, to publish 'a paper that will reflect
credit upon the University. We shall en
deavor to give a complete and exact account
of University events, to record college news
in general, to voice the opinions of the
students through the editorial columns and
to carry out the purpose of the founders of
the paper by making it a medium through
which the literary work of the students may
bo brought before the public. In general,
we shall try to mirror student life in the
UniversitT; we admit that this is not perhaps
the most lofty aim, but 'we think that if TnE
Hespekian ever comes to do this success
full' it will bo doing enough.
The Hesperian stands for good govern
ment. It will be run independently. It
will not be influenced or controlled by any
"clique" or "faction" but will represent the
whole student body. The present manage
ment urges all students to take a lively in
terest in the support of TnE Hesperian and
assist in maintaining a paper that is ever
awake to your welfare and interest.
The Hesperian cannot too strongly urge
upon all students, old as well as new, who
have not yet identified themselves with or
against the literary societies, the prime im
portance of attending their programs, be
coming acquainted with their membership,
purposes and aims and studying their work
and its result; and then, if after judging
fairly and impartially you recognize the
great benefit to bo obtained from active
membership in these great democratic liter
ary and social institutions, to urge upon you
an alliance, as soon aB possible, with one
of these societies.
Hon. H. H. Wilson, an alumnus of this
University and one of the ablest and most
successful of Nebraska attorneys, said last
year, in an address to the students, that he
had derived more genuine and lasting bene
fit from the training he received in his liter
ary society while in school, than from any
