Well, we’ve had a good run. As the semester winds down and we release the last issue of The DePauw for the semester, The Editorial Board can’t help but be a little sentimental. After all, we’ve poured our hearts and souls into this publication for the past four months. Thanks for reading, as always. We’ll leave you with our tears, jeers and cheers from this past year.
