life. A certain student is denounced for having stolen the sign of the athletic manager. Because this gentleman is a member of the University it was decidedly wrong to steal his sign; if he had been some poor barber there might yet have been some doubt as to whether the theft was justifiable or not. Are we not laying ourselves open to the charge of upholding as a principle of our university life one which is worthy only of a band of thieves: "From any outsider steal all that thou canst-but woe unto thee if thou stealest aught from thy brother thief"?

The only reason which may, perhaps, justify the stealing of a sign is that by doing so we get something which practically no one else can get or something to which an association is attached. Does it make any difference whether it is the sign of a well-known storekeeper or that of the athletic manager? If there is any real objection to stealing the sign in question, it ought also to apply to the stealing of any other sign whatsoever. Respectfully, '95.
