We are sorry to announce the weakening of our present board by the temporary retirement of Mr. Hamilton, and by Mr. Hervey's resignation. As the conduct of the CRIMSON is soon to be in the hands of the '88 editors, we hope to have soon as strong a possible representation from the three lower classes. There are now four editors from '88, and four from '89; we shall take on one more editor from each class as soon as men have proved their fitness for the position; by fitness we do not mean mere ability to write weak editorials on nothing, but to handle real, strong, forcible English, to write clearly and legibly, and above all things to have ideas. There are undoubtedly twenty men in either class qualified to fill these places, and we want to know them all, or at least know where to find them. Again, it is our honored custom to elect a freshman editor at the beginning of the second volume, immediately after the mid years. The contributions from '90 have thus far been many and varied; but we hope to have better things yet. When shall we have the pleasure of welcoming three new editors to our sanctum?
