We must have more editors on the CRIMSON from the class of ninety. That class seems to be a peculiarly apathetic one, and the sooner it bestirs itself, the better. We have appealed to the class time and again since their entrance into college, and it is a disgraceful fact that there are only two regular editors from ninety on the CRIMSON board to-day-at least two or three less than there should be. It must be remembered that when the eighty-nine board leaves the paper next year, the burden and responsibility of conducting it must fall upon the shoulders of the ninety editors. Two men may be very efficient in their way, but they are not enough to do all the work, and it is not to be expected of them. The present junior board has seven members, not including the three correspondents, and this is the largest number of editors from one class that has ever been taken on the paper. It is to be hoped that ninety will follow the example set by eighty-nine. We quite understand that it is difficult to get subjects upon which to write, but at the same time we wish it understood that we do not judge from quantity, so much as from quality when considering the election of a candidate. Communications do not help us to judge of a man's style as much as editorials and front page article,- especially the former. What we want is a man who can write good, plain, forcible English, who has opinions of his own and knows how to express them, and who is willing to do a fair amount of good without grumbling. We shall not ask too much. The position is not one to be despised, the practice given is invaluable. To these facts anyone of the past or present editors can testify. We trust that ninety will respond to our appeal, and that are long we shall have several more members of that class upon our editorial board.
