Ul.Ht.l THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. 8 p $ttu. gxckwfjc jffr-f-vff. Exchnngc editors nro the most useless of all collego editors. Don't you think so ? We have received Vol. I Wo. 1 of the York Collegian' We hope it will grow and thrive mightily. Only two attempts at joaks in the last number of the College Ohronicle , Both failures. The paper, howj yer, is not a failure. j The Loans Owl comes regularly. We are always gh.d to see our nearest nci ghbor.

We have many disadvantages here, but when we contemplate such extras in the list of a 'fellow's expenses we put our handB Into our empty pock. ets and feci devoutly thankful that this is not a (Hide college. An article in the Argonaut (copied with emphatic cn- doictn.ent by the Cornell Era) complains of the lack of interest in the literary societies. Causes assigned are severity of Hid class work, and interest in the special work done in the associations devoted to various branches of study. Those who thought that when the Occident renounced its special mission of denouncing fraternities that it had itsell been captured by those organizations, can fee by the present tone of the paper that they were mistaken. The rivary between barbarians and frats must always exist, but the armed peace is the easiest and most digni fied, and in every wsy most satisfactory position for both parties. The Occident 6eems to have taken exactly this stand, and will henceforth be regarded with more favor than when so violently aggressive by those of us who, as editors, take neither side. The Scholatiic casts the weird light of its ridicule over some of the poetry that has appeared in this paper. "We plead guilty to the dire offense, but had repented long before the Sdiolastic lit up our idiocy lor the bene fit of the college world. Wo are guilty in company with mony others, and our remorse only proves that Ave arc mere conscientious than other criminals.
