EDITORIAL.
THE PURPOSE OF AN EDITORIAL.
The editorial column is usually
devoted to a comment on some
subject that is of interest to the
students. In no case is it used
for personal ends—to abuse or
criticize any one individual.
The various phases of college
life that are commented on are not
criticized by the editor because he
thinks that he is the one best fitted
to criticize them, but because he
may have noticed them more close
ly, and too, he must have some
subject upon which to write the
required weekly editorial.
The things criticized are usual
ly those things tnat many are guil
ty of and, because they are gener
al, the criticisms should never be
taken as applicable to any one per
son. While it is true that no one
should take a criticism as a per
sonal cut, every one should weigh
the criticism and if it is just, real
izeit and act upon it. The edi
torial column expresses the opin
ions of the editor and should he
occasionally make pointed criti
cisms they are not meant for per
sonal abuse but for helpful criti
cism.
The letter column is open to all
the students and each one is invi
ted to express their opinions on
any subject of interest here
through this column.
ALUMNI LETTERS.
The editor has been pleased to
receive some letters from the
Alumni and old students com
menting on things of interest to
the students. These letters repre-
senting, as tliey do, the opinions
of persons who are more experi
enced and who have more practi
cal views than the editor are very
valuable.
These letters are also valuable
because they are of special inter
est to the student and Alumni
readers; and they are gladly pub
lished by the editor. The writers
should always designate what por
tions of letters they wish publish
ed, and whether or not their sig
nature should l>3 given.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
"Gleanings F"om Four Years"
was the topic which the two
Senior girls, Laura Davis and
Josephine Coble chose for our
Thursday evening Association
meeting 011 Dec. 9.
First, Josephine Coble told us
about some tilings people have
done for us, then Laura Davis told
us some of the things that people
have told us to do.
The first speaker called to mind
some Freshman experiences when
the kind and encouraging words
of an upper class-woman, cause 1
her to claim that girl, from that
time on, a life long friend. She
also cited examples of influence of
some of the ladies of the faculty
who have by their quiet goodness,
integrity, and strength of purpose,
caused their influence to be felt
more than they could ever realize.
She mentioned the fact that we so
often do not show our apprecia
tion for the good influences about
us and concluded her remarks by
saying, "it is not the things that
we do, girls, hut the things we
leave undone that give us a bit of
a heartache when our college days
are done."
The next speaker's part of tin?
program consisted of a large col
lection of quotations which the
leader had gleaned from some of
the most forceful speakers we
have heard throughout the four
years. Each quotation was, in it
self, a treasure. Some of them
were:
"I3e good, do good, make good."
"One may live so as to change
an evil into an angel."
"We have to nay for what we
got. We get what we pay for. ff
we pay the price for the real thing
we get the real thing."
"Gumption is the ability to put
the grease where the squeak is."
"We must all either wear out
or rust out. I had rather wear
out."
