The unit^ of thought, pur­pose and action which .has always, to .a greater or less extent, characterized 'the student body, has almost disappeared. Difference of opinion among those who "make up any body of individuals is in­evitable and certainly desirable. But is it detf^bb, as in the present case, to alow such-difference of opinion to be­come a cause of dissension? especailly whenit. arises from naattersthat are essentially petty and unimportant. ~ If we allow a difference of view-point wd its consequent difference of poinion tin minor matters to split up this student body into cliques and Actions there wil be no end to this process The tend­ency in thatdirectkm wil naturally in­crease,unless the students'common sense, feeling of justice and liberality destroy it altogether The University has en­tered upon a period of unprecedented 111 mmKor Af t^a in fiveyearsihe number of its students haa\increase wy or seventy-five per cehtl This rapid feicrenRft in._the.-pas and its probable ture means a more cosmopolitan student este, and activitiee We repeat, the nat­ nra^ tendency of this is to destroy the unlty and thereby the effectiveness of the student body as such.

We wish most heartily that th& editor and"fcis bdard couM~be crowded by lack of space from the edi­ ild be saved the labor of ^filling these columns, but because we believe the Texan ought to be in fact, an organ of the University, particularly an organ of the student .body. The students ;ought to take enough interest in the affairs of this great school to have opinions and to.ex­press them in our editorial columns. We have but few reservations to make in extending this invitation;Wewill will­ing and gladly publish anything that is of general and real interest to tftje stu­dents and friends of this University, and that is mgned by^ the writer. :An honest/ opinion^honestly and fearlessly' express­ed, requires"the signature of its author.
