But tradition exacts a swan song of eaeli departing Emer ald editor. And tradition is, as I’ve been repeating all year with Homeric, regularity, precedence organic in procedure—it eaijnot be enforced and it cannot be escaped. Tradition has not ordained, how ever, that the Emerald invariably be at odds with the student admin istration. Many times during the year we have differed; more times, perhaps, than we have agreed. But each has had enough regard for the motives of the other that, so far as we have known, there has never been the slightest taint of personal ani nosity or malice. ' Student government this year un der Don Beet,or sincerely made every effort to preserve student autonomy. The reforms first proposed were, I thought, unimportant and the Emer ald made no bones about saying so. But as the year advanced, new plans of progress were launched which were very aide conceived and managed and have brought merit to the administration. A movement toward the liberation of athletics from commercialism was fathered. Well done! The Emerald is an institution and a tradition in itself. That 1 ve at ready implied. But 'the full purport, cannot be appreciated until one actually feels the superiority of the continuous influence of its policies over the fleeting projects of tin' temporary editorial incumbent, lie forms come and go and campaigns are forgotten while tree speech, fairness between University and student, and freedom tor tin' iudi vidua! to follow his own course with thi' lightest and friendliest; of guiding hands persist as cardinal ^ principles. All in all, Editor l’angborn will find the Emerald much the same as it came to me from Sid Abramson, mV brilliant predecessor, and even as it came long ago it seems now from the capable hands of Ed Miller. Particularlv, I should like to see the students retain the telegraph service next year. Another year spent in perfecting the use of the service and the Emerald will rather toss out its masthead than drop world news. * * * Next veer is going to mean more J to the future of the Univerxitv than any time since long before the war. Next year the Univ ersity is going j to win an eipiitable living for itselt J or go shabby in the years to come, j Bight now is tin critical juncture., jf the state does not consider edu j cation worthwhile, next year is the | limp for the legislative chloroform to hi! administered to the University. Students are often too disposed to lie nonchalant about the affairs of the University administration be cause they fail to see the pertinence to their own welfare. Next year they will be called on for all the energy they have. I'mm the sample of initiative that doe McKeown has displayed at the outget and the dynamics that wo know to reside in Editor I’angborn, Oregon has assurance of intelligently directed student power if the re sources of the students are called out fully. ! Signing my last editorial brings no compunctions.' Errors in judg ment have there been in the editorial columns, and infertile ideas. But the Emerald has sought to speak o candidly on events as they passed in review; and the Emerald staff with whom it has been a pleasure to work, has endeavored to produce an honest, interesting and intelligent Emerald. And now I’m glad to turn over the task of guiding this news paper to my thoroughly competent successor. BAY NASH. I*lease Don't l ake It Seriously ^PWO in on.1 weeks mid the college year will lx* over but for the graduation exercises for tin* seniors. Tliu ond of tin' year brings a mix ture of feelings, joy and regret, the culmination of one dream and the start of another. Taken all in all, the college years arc joyous periods in which the ' average student is not greatly trou bled with the cares of life. Work and play are mingled in a way that gees to make life interesting both for those who pay their own ex peases and those whose parents foot ’ the hills. Vet the college life palls ■ rui one and most students are glad lo see dune bringing release into a different life. The student whose collegiate ca reer ends with the close of the year 1 feels a tinge of regret as he pro- < pares to leave the campus whirl, I uid at the same time shows an eagerness to learn what lies ahead it* him. There is no pause; one thing ceases to be only to yield place to another. 1 >espite of lachrymose orators who <peak of fledglings trying out their feeble wings in the cross currents >f the hard, cruel world, the parting | is not a time of tears.

STATISTICS NOT WORTH KNOWING If all the Seven Seer columns for the past year were clipped and made into a roll, they would have to he unrolled again before anybody could read them. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25— (By ('lotlies Press)—A resume of tlie year’s news lias been compiled! by experts for the last issue of the Seven Seers, and has been sent over the least wires to the column. October 25, 1927 President Coolidge smiles. Two movie camera men are killed in the rush of photographers. November 1, 1927 Chicago erects statue to World Peace. Fifty people killed by ma chine guns. November 27, 1927 Fifteen hundredth anniversary of the joke “Who was that lady I saw you with last night?” is celebrated. December 10, 1927 W orld-wide move for reclining chair's in class rooms is started by Humane Society. February 12, 1928 Five thousand school children start to recite the Gettysburg Ad dress. Three finish it. April 25, 1928 Bootleggers collect $3,000,000 com mission from eye specialists and undertakers. * * * FAMOUS LAST WORDS “I’ll be sure to write during the summer. ” * * * OVER Bui' shouldee: Warning: from here on the column is slightly editorial. If in a hurry, don’t bother with it. Considering everything, we have not fared so badly this year. Not a single one of 11s (up until this issue) has been fired at, or even thrown into the Eaee. True, we have been sharply criticized, but so have we received our share of praise and wo want to extend thanks for both. It is a tough job, this Seven Seers business, trying to please everyone. Some want the column personal, others general; some want an exclu sive campus “slant,” others don’t; and thej-e you are. We have tried to strike a sort of happy medium— maybe we have succeeded, maybe we haven’t. Weakness Acknowledged We do know this much. It has been a weakness of ours to perhaps run things to the ground. We have always tried to do it in a spirit of fun, though, and we only hope that we have not approached monotony Holidays a Y ear That’s exactly what comes to pass when you acquire the laundry habit, another “Sunday” that can be spent shopping, or you may enjoy the idle hour seeing the latest show. Phone 825 New Service Laundry too often. As for any of dur “campaigns’ ever having clone any harm; well, we know they haven’t. They would never have been launched if we had thought they would and we are pleased that they have all been taken so good naturedly. Have Been Considerate We hope we have been successful in our policy of steering clear of the really “touchy” spots in campus af fairs and .making fun of only those things which by their very strength could stand them best. If there have been errors in our judgment we sincerely regret them. And so, if the column has suc ceeded in making somebody’s daily bowl of mush even a little bit more enjoyable, then we can push back our typewriter for a long rest, and with the assurance that this valuable space in the Emerald has after all not been totally wasted.
