...would have been better had he made a more urgent call for funds with which to improve some of the facilities for under-graduate study. The college proper ought to be perfected before any attempt is made to raise the standard of the smaller institutions. We need a better general room for the Library more than anything else; the Chemical Laboratory is so far behind the times that advanced work is seriously affected; the History department demands a reference library. We might enumerate other wants, all of which are of more vital importance than original research in the Veterinary School...

There is no way effectually to do away with this dampness within a reasonable cost, and we suspect that the baseball players will be forced to stand it the rest of this season. An attempt has been made to carry on the practice of the batteries in some warmer place, but no fit place can be found.

We wish the College Man all success. WE cannot, however, fail to remember that every previous attempt at conducting an intercollegiate magazine has ended in mournful failure. It is at least questionable whether a field exists for such a publication. The College Man has an excellent opportunity to triumph over skeptics, and to show us that the repeated failures and final abandonment of the Collegian were...
