ono house, but the owner informed tho
searchers that the typo hud hecn removed.
As wo know of no person menu nnd con
temptible enough to abet those youths in
their crime, wo shall henceforth live in
the belief that Satan has formed a partner
ship with the noble (?) quintette, and that
tho six are now admiring tho destruction
of the material in the flumes of Hades.
Our advertisers certninly sco that we aro
not in the wrong in not publishing their
advertisements, for had thoy not been pur
loined by thseo exemplary (?) students
their notices would have appeared in this
issue as heretofore.
We aro surprised indeed, even to bo able
to publish tho reading matter. Had it not
been for our interest in tho Student and
unusual amount of work, for the lirst time
in its history, the Hesi'Kkian Studknt
would have failed to make its monthly ap
pearance. Our readers then knowing that
we have published this issue in the face of
almost insurmountable barriers, will sure
ly oxcuso all errors and gonoral incomplot
noss. Hoping that such an unwarrantable act
as this will never bo committed in the
University again, especially by persons
claiming to be students and gentlemen, we
close this excuse for our abridged issue.
AVo thank our advertisers for past favors
and ask for the same and more in the
future.
A HEMARK.
It is well known by tho students, the
public in general, and all who claim a mite
of knowledge on legal subjects, that the
IIksi'KIiik.vStudknt Association can not
sue or bo sued because it is not an incorpo
rated body, and hence is not responsible
for debts contracted. If tho material in
the Student printing office is owned by
any person or persons, said persons aro tho
Hoard of Itegcnts.
If the Hoard of Regents do not own it,
then tho property is without owncrnhip,
belonging as much to H as to A. By pro
visions of tho Constitution of tho Associa
tion "the Board of Managers shall manage-
tho pt per." That is, this Board is au
thorized, by virtue of this clause, and not
by any optional dictation of tho Asso
ciation, to attend to all business related to
tho Student, to say as to what matter
shall go in for publication, and to sec to tho
issuing of tho paper. Nover before this pres
ent issue have tho rights and privileges of
the Hoard of Managers been questioned.
But a circumstance of this character has
now occurred, and in spite of friendly pro
testations it is carried far beyond the rules
of civilized society. Notwithstanding tho
fact that tho Association as a body nor as
a number of individuals, cannot own pro
perty, contract debts, etc., live presump
tions youths went before a Justice of the
Peace and sworo upon their oaths that they
were tho owners of a certain lot of type be
longing to the Student office.
Such a case of bare-faced porjury, from
such a source is not chronicled in tho
annals of crimo. Think too of the absur
dity of tho act. Those ilvo boys aro not
ovon officers of tho Association and worse
yet, thoy did this malicious deed of pur
loining typo without the knowledge and
consent of the Association. My this pro
cedure they have supplanted the Hoard of
Managers, virtually doing away with such
a sot of officers. "Wo doubt whether an
other fivo can be found possessing con
sciences so elastic as to allow of such prima
Jacic perjury. May they rest in peace, wo
wish them no harm.
NOTICE.
Another annual ottering has been made
to tho past; and our college journal, in
spite of several obstructions and hinduran
cos, forces itself to the front unco more,
greeting its patrons and the Now Year
with a gracious smile. Cognizant of tin
fact that the Studknt is as liublo to death
as any other paper or magazine, not a blow
has been left unturned for the development
and prcn-rvation of life. We are plea cl
