this was the case witli Editor Pope,

in third floor corridor at the Sum-
mey by a fierce-looking student aud
severely reprimanded for the inser
tion of certain articles in the Re-

ter’s honor was not stained, and the
belligerent party left digusted and

It is rumored that on account of
the excessive tyranny of the Editor
in-Chief the associate editors will
“strike” at an early date, and set up
a paper of their own. The reason
given for this action is that the
aforesaid Ed.-in Chief clips out
their productions in too many in

not stand.”

given by the Institute during the
coming year may be numerous and
all as pleasant as the one last night.
