The suggestion that, because of a dull financial outlook, the Oregon Monthly may be discontinued, grates on the feelings of many. In the first place, our finances are in vastly better shape than last year at this time, when we were far in debt. Anyway, except that it may be done with impunity, what justifica tion is there for strangling the Monthly. The dear old lady has for many years led a chaste and exem plary life, which has made up in service and usefulness what it may have lacked in color and sensation. Though we may, at times, be inclined to gently desire the magazine, as de dicated to poets, highbrows, and dreamers, the fact remains that it is our only means of offering apprecia tion and encouragement of the writ ing of good English, which art is the very foundation of a liberal educa tion. As college people we are bound to appreciate good writing and ad mire capable and clever writers. The standards of our literary mag azine have always been a credit to the University and it has always been symbolical and representative of one of the best and most important phases of our college life. io tnus summarily suspend in mid year would be a most glaring ad vertisement of our poverty, and in a practical way, it is extremely doubt ful whether it could legally be ac complished, except by a vote of all the students. Also there would re main the obligation of refunding half the subscription money. If, indeed, as is by no means cer certain, we are doomed to sing in the slough of poverty and bankruptcy, let us go down with flags flying and the band playing, and not try to save a hundred dollars or so by the anni hilation of one of our most venerable and representative enterprises. —Ralph Moores.
