Show EXCHANGE Vacation over finds us back to school once more. Whatever we have been doing during our vacation is set aside, and our energy turned to our studies. We are determined to improve and increase the popularity of our school and our "Acorn." We shall need the support of our exchanges, as we ever need the aid and criticism which tends to improve and bring the "Acorn" closer to the standard. We therefore extend a hearty welcome to our fellow school papers. We are more than glad to receive the following exchanges: "College Chips," Luther College, Decorah, Iowa.
