We need such a paper to counterbal

There is no time in tin* ’Varsity’s Ids
tory when her prospects were brighter
than now. With chances favorable for
“tlir" (appropriation with ;MM) students
in prospect for next year, and our ath
letic advancement from insignificance to
a comparative height, there is no won
der that we are startled by vague nmbl- ■
lions of seeing our University of Geor
gia take the place of honor and prosper
ity to w hich her honorable record as well
as her position of University to the
Greatest state in the South entitles her.
Her record has personified that of
many a poor student w ho has battled for
an education within her walls.
From infancy she has, like great men,
hem always misunderstood, and possi
Idy like them w ill only he appreciated
when she is no more. Her every step
forward is opposed and jeered at from
Brunswick to Home. Her strpa back
ward, w lieu they have been mule, call
forth a sneer shaped hy the voices of a
million Georgians, and when she appears
to he neither retrograding nor progress
ing the censure is not abated.

the London Times publishes a special

been blown up with dynamite.
And if a student docs take otT a gate

spirit, the press of Georgia and the Uni

and go Into the hands of a receiver in

have been here send their sons after

I'm best praise is that nearly our every
student had an uncle or a father who,

ol our hoirihly vicious habits and gen
eral depravity, and lived to send hint

NS Idle the Bed and Black of the past
has been a paper up to the standard of
co.lege publications, yet that is not say
ing much.
There is nothing in the w ay of making
a college paper the most intensely inter
esting sheet to its reader* published any-
where, provided the editors have some
ingvuuUy and a certain kind of literary
ability. (The fault o( this pa|»cr is due
to the editors' lack of these ipialities .
There Is no place more favorable for
the glow th of the very ln»st and brightest
of college papet* than the University.
The admirable system of electing edi
tors, tlielr ret|H>nslhillty to the Athletic
Association will secure the brightest
men in college and the best articles.
Concerning the Bed and Black: Mon
ey received from advertisers who paid
for the whole year was refunded, so
that that they paid only for value re
ceived. The paper would have lx*cn
able to refund money for the year’s sub
scriptions, had it not been for the rather
deplorable fact that many students who
had received the paper for six months
couldn't or wouldn't pay.
However, the twelve copies which the j
Bed and Black owes to her year suhscrl- '
tiers will he duly sent them next year, i
The Business Manager of the Bed and
Black, proper, lias six dollars in the
treasury which will he turned over to
the new management next year.
