EDITORIAL NOTES. We expect 110 mercy after perpetrating such an outrage upon the unsuspecting students in the pre sentation of this, the vacation number of the Hesper ian, and according are prepared for the worst. Do not venture too far into our sanctum, for we varn you that we are prepared to prevent any very violent chastisement for inflicting this All Fools' Day joke. If,however, you can be appeased " by promises, you have our promise that we will never make such a break again, at least without timely warning. Yesterday closed the last session of the legisla ture, a session fraught with many things of interest to the University. We are thankful that we have been so liberally dealt with, but what pleases us most is the recognition of that principle which the University has striven so long to establish, that the University authorities should have control of University funds. On the 17th of March occurred the fourth annual Commencement of the Medical College; when a class of young men were graduated. Our Chancellor very fittingly told of the hardships and discouragements met with and predicted that if they met each trial of professional life with as much patience and energy as evinced in their course here, a marked success would follow. We are sorry to lose the members of this class, for in their three years stay they have made many friends. We regret to say that we are unable to give the address of the class, delivered by Mr D. S. Moore, but we most deeply sympathize with the thoughts there presented. It may seem as if we were over anxious to make our request, now that the University is not so cramp ed financially as it has been for years, yet in'the light of long and patient waiting for that which is ac knowledged by all to be almost a necessity, we deem it not out of place to ask for Hesperian wants. The Hesperian is (pardon the allusion) an essential fea ture of the University and we feel confident that our authorities will recognize that fact as they have in the past. We are laboring and have been long laboring under great disadvantages, and to keep abreast of the progress of the University we should have the materi al to be able to present something besides the same old appearance, and to be able to make a change in the customary matter if we, by chance, should stum ble upon some original thought. And then, one vis it to our sanctum would convince anyone of the need of more commodious and quiet quarters. We are paying our running expenses, but.are not able to take the needed step, although a very small sum would accomplish all that is necessary, while the Un iversity could not place such a small sum in any place where the student is more directly benefitted tl an in the Hesperian office. VACATION GATHERWGS. Miss Dryden remained in town during vacation and studied shorthand. Illinois mother: "Why my dear boy, how young and Cliild ish you look!" Dear boy faints. J. E.
