Well, boys, we are at work
once more, trying to produce
something that will interest you.
It is our great hope to make The
Battalion a paper of interest to
all, and we shall endeavor in
every way to accomplish this. If
anyone has anything he thinks
would be of interest to the boys,
or other readers of our journal,
we will be only too glad to pub
lish it. It seems to be a general
idea that no one but the editor
can write for The Battalion.
This is a very mistaken idea, and
we hope that every one will feel
it his'duty to write something for
our paper. This journal is of the
College and'by the College,and it
is just what the students and the
members of the school make it.
So, now, let’s all unite and work
together, for through the influ
ence of this paper we can build
our dear old College up and give
her a place among the colleges of
our nation that she has never en
joyed before.

We are sorry to see that some
of the boys have so little thought
for the College property. Boys,
you should take a second thought
before you mistreat the property
in your room or on the campus.
Think how kind the legislature
has been to us; remember the ap
propriations it has given us, and
show our statesmen that you ap
preciate their kindness by doing
all in your power to preserve
property belonging to the College.
We know that you are a little
crowded in barracks now, but
