28 University Reporter. The election of Mr. E. A. Cohen aa one of the editors of the Pandora is a good one. He will add many bright and witty sayings to the annual, and will be of great assistance. We are indebted to him for valuable aid rendered in getting out this issue of the Reporter. The article on “ Examinations ” in this issue is an able one and contains some good suggestions which the Faculty should take cognizance of. The many changes in the University the past year were no doubt made for the good of the University and the students, and without hesitation we say most of the changes are beneficial to both student and college. But we can’t see the advantage in the present system of examinations. Do away with Finals. The appointment of Lieutenant Pryor Mynatt as an aide to Colonel Snellings would be a deserved compliment, and would meet with the approval of all the Cadets. He would make a most valuable assistant. We publish in this issue a cut and short sketch of Hon. Jef ferson Davis, who died on December 6th, 1889. A few words to the editors will not be out of place. Whoever the cap fits let him wear it. I excuse you, who have done notli- ing for the last six weeks towards furnishing matter for publi cation, but threw the burden on the shoulders of a faithful few. You thought the editor-in-chief was not quite so plentiful with show tickets as he should have been, and thought by acting as you did would bring him to terms. By this action of yours you violated the trust imposed upon you and confidence placed in you, and surrendered your right to tickets. The tried and faithful few stuck like men, got tickets and went to the show. An article by Prof. Campbell came in too late for this issue. It is a most excellent article and will be published in the issue after Christmas. Owing to the sickness of Mr. J. N. Holder, Mr. H. C. Polliill assisted Mr. Tribble in the local column this issue.
