We hope that more men will write for us next year. In regard to news, we have often found it a difficult task to give a sufficient amount of interesting matter without descending to gossip and personalities, which we know our readers do not wish in a college paper, and which we ourselves are loath to introduce. Our desire to establish friendly relations with our sister paper...
