Contrary to the time honored
custom of new editors we shall
not devote. our first editorial to a
dissertation upon the. feeling-' of
responsibility with which we are
oppressd as we assume the duties
of our office. We shall not. even
promice to perform its duties to
the best of our abilities. But we
shall g-et down to brass tacks at
once.
" Now that the tragic inevitable
has happened there is no need
for sermons and editorials. The
University and the state at large
deeply mourn and regret the death
of yonng- Rand. Yet what in
our smaller game seemed the
irony of fate that a man who
was not "fresh," should be hazed
by masked men, on the Athletic
field, and should there by accident
meet his. death upon a stray piece
of broken crockery, at the opening
of the collfire year which has
proven to be most nearly free from
hazing of any year in the history
of that practice was deemed
necessary to the fufilliment of
His purposes by Him who is be
hind the big game.
LErS START SOMETHING
There have been turned loose
upon and among us some two
hundred anil fifty r .hree hundred
new men who know little or noth
ing about the traditions of this
place. The nearest contact that
many of them have. had. with it
has been the none too careful
perusal of the catalogue. Conse
quently they know nothing at 411
of the. place. They do not know
what to take hold of or whereto
take hold of it. They do not
know what things rank high in
the estimation of the faculty and
the students. They do not know
what are the things worth while
in college life and what are the
things that they should fight shy
of here. They do not know
whether they are lilted to be
come writers, deb-itois, or what
nots. In other words they are
absolutely raw recruits. They
are citizens in the embryo. They
must be developed.
What kind of citizens they
will become depends largely upon
the start they get here. If they
iro in for the things worth while
they will be citize sol wiiuiu we,
their Alma Mater, and the state
may well be proud. If the man
with undevoloped athlclic ability
is started alonir the right Hues
and is encouraged even' though
he docs not show himself lo be a

three years from now we shall be taken about important matters
at the top again in athletics. If and officers, the freshmen hold

will be ranking with the best, son to regret that they were none
If the man with histrionic ability loo reliably informed about some
is encouraged, we shall have no matters,
more headlines of the kind"She
Stooped But Did Not Conquer".
While if the undeveloped debai-
or fresli from his prep school is
encouraged our present high rank-
in the field of debate will never
be less hig-h.
But whether or not these men
will get started in the right direc
tion depends largely 'upon the old
men. If the old men care
enough for the future rank of
their Fair Mother to forego
lit le rude fun a the expense of
the freshman, and at the inevit
able future expense of theUuiver
sity, and if they care enough for
the success of that University
three years hence, then all will
be well.
From the old men the new need
rue advice and information
where they have been receiving
false advice and misinfomation.
Many a good man has hau all the
spirit knocked out ol luni by
getting in bad on the start
h'ivc: Many a freshman who
would have made good in the
community has had his ambition
squelched by following the advice
of some upper-classman who
claimed to be his friend, but who
all the while was stringing him
to make him the laughing stock
of the college, kill his spirit, and
turn him out an enemy rather
than a friend of the institution,
and when by a little true inform
ation about things here and a
little true advice there woutd
have been made a student who
while here would have been au
asset and who, when left, would
have become an ardent supporter
of the University.
It is up to the old men to get
the new ones into shape. Now
this getting them into shape will
not be the most pleasant work
that ever fell to the lot of man;
for after the present sad gloom, the
natural result of a horrible
thoughtlessness, shall have worn
off, after the college shall have
settled to its normal routine life,
and after the members of the
freshmen class shall have become
generally known to the college
some members of that class wiH
make the job a hard one; as there
are always a few among them
who have the idea that t he v are
still seniors in a prep scho in
stead of very small potatoes in
a large university. But even
among the Nazaiems there, is
some good, which inas - be ex
tracted if the proper course is pur
sued And that course is not
summed up bv the pla" ing of
backwoods jokes upon the
offending objects. It were far
bettar to "freeze" them.
The. majority of new men,
however, will act in no way of
fensively towards the old ones.
They will be gentlemanly in
their bearing and will, need no
freezing. But even if they
should conduct themselves in
such a way as to give offense, it
must be remembered that they
are the future leaders of the col
lege and as such must be patient-,
ly wrought with that when their,
lime comes for leadership they
