THE ADVOCATE.

A new issue of the Advocate has appeared and the critics say it is a good one, which is as it should be. We are pleased to notice that "Harvard's oldest and only" literary paper is alive and flourishing, though now we recall that it never actually suspended operations. It produced one notable issue in that time of trial and tribulation when the S. A. T. C. was at the door and many other organizations ceased operations. Need we praise it further?

And yet it occurs to us that we might appreciate it more than we do. We might see in it more of an opportunity,--a chance for every man in the University to give and receive ideas on every subject on earth. This is a highly important part of college education, Undoubtedly such a chance was borne in mind by the founders of the Advocate, for those were the days when men got together and exchanged ideas, founded clubs, and ran papers. It is fortunate that some of the organizations founded then still survive else how should we have any at all? However we have the Advocate and all the opportunities that go with it. Perhaps some one of us may use it for his own development as successfully as Theodore Roosevelt did.
