If w# have our own systems aa efficient a* they can be, if we fell the tree of expense before we trim the branches, if we put our own affairs in shape before we meddle with those of others, if we sweep out the houne before investigating the back porch, then we are | justified in directing our energy and time to other tHiitgs. It seems, that in a crisis, th* bosses should oofssern themselves with things of importance, and then idle away their tifeie getting infor mation on sophomores, informing the country that it Isn’t dry, and try ing to make our colleges money-making iastitutions instead of schools of learning. There is no advantage in spending a dollar on a budget, if it will save but fifty cents. Writ*, lUe This college', more than otherfnsutulions depends upon the direct influence that the conduct of iti hi i<i. nt body has toward outsiders and people not connected with the college for the regulation by which it is known. Our own personal deeds, here on ftye campus, and away from here become a background f6r th* opinion of this college which strangers and friends alike build up in th^dr own minds. Naturally, It is important that such a matter be given more attention, and realised ? more than it has. Upperclassmen, as a rule, understand exactly how this effects the college, and how it also indirectly effects themselves, as a part of the institution. Included in our conduct would be what we do, and what we write. First year for the misconception** which others by them in regard to college.

Our parents are Very interested and concerned about us, and it ia right that they should know about conditions as they are. But H is alse s vary great injustice to make statements that are untrue and are of such nature *ai| to fcauaa unnecessary anxiety and worry to those that ask for the truth.
