THE ADVOCATE.

Most organizations of any reputation have been, at some time in their history, hard put. The test of hardship comes to all worthy undertakings. If steel, when tried, emerges supple and keen from the flames, it is approved for use; so it is with all else.

The "Advocate" has had this experience. It has passed through serious times and heard much adverse criticism. But now it is sound, a sheet filled with live thoughts and vigorous ideas.

This comeback on the part of the "Advocate" has aroused much admiration from the undergraduates. They recognize in it a paper of strong vitality and a promise, through its influence, of future developments in the literary life of the College.
