VALEDICTORY.
This, the last scene of the fifth act,
closes our career upon the journalistic
stage. The present Board of Managers
having made few promises, have fewapol
logics to make lor promises broken.
Most of all, have we revolved in our
minds the thought as to what should con.
stitutc the ideal college journal. Whether
it should contain only college gossip, or
strive to attain a tolerable degree of literary
merit, has ever been a debatable question.
We have endeavored to solve the problem
for ourselves, by welcoming both elements
to the columns of the Student. But in
so doing vc have still been far lrom reach
ing an ideal of college journalism. Our
articles for publication have not at all
times, been the best representatives of the
literary ability of the college students.
We feel grateful, however, to the press of
the state for its encouragement, and to
our exchanges for their friendly criti
cisms. There have been opportunities for im
provements of which wo would gladly
have availed ourselves. But the indebted
ncss that, for the last year and a half, has
overhung the Association, has, to all ap.
pcarances, smothered our ambition. Suffice
it to say, that by a rigid economy that in
debtedncss has been nearly liquidated.
For our literary success we have trusted
to diligence rather than to ability and ex
perience. That trust, if i' has not dc
ceived us, has brought to us sufficient re
ward for our labors. Our connection
with the Student has been pleasant to
ourselves, and, we hope, agreeable to our
readers. Our obligations to students in
general for there assistencc are many; and
we ask, in taking this our final leave of
Student, the that a similar if not greater
port be extended to our successors.
A REVIEW.
The present number completes the
eighth year of The Student. Like every
thing else in this world, it has had its ups
and downs; sometimes it has been pros
pcrous,then again it has been all its Edi
tors could do to keep it from joining its
many journalistic friends on the other side
of the dark river. Once only has it sus
ponded; then after the loss of a single is.
sue, it was resumed under the control of a
new Business Manager who worked it up
to quite a high degree of prosperity. Dur
ing the first three years of its life it
seems to have been a very peac blc child ;
then for some reason it caused a great
