Jn- fpffvq -0 N 6494 I5 O its large number of patrons, hot, cold and lukewarm, cyn- ical, sympathetic and sinister, to brother barb and brother- hood, to sisters dear and sisters not so dear, to learned professor and sapling tutor, to each of these and to four-fifths of all other persons,the KALDRON Board of ,Q3 extends a most hearty Pan-Hellenic greeting. We present our annual missive, not with an apology for any fatalistic revolution on the part of the fabled political kaleido- scope, nor do we feel inclined to attract attention to a discourse on human frailty by beggingly insinuating ourselves to be examples of unworthiness as the manner of some is. It is our duty and pleasure merelyto state that after a yearls quiet simmering the KAL- DRON potion has again become sufficiently agitated by Greek flames to overflow and force its seething essence upon contingent entities. As persons authorized to limit and direct the elements of this ebullition we have struggled to be faithful to the trust imposed. We have endeavored to make escape conduits for the overflow 4

We have endeavored throughout to portray life at Allegheny as it actually exists, Without resorting to the severe caricature of all our connections, and for this innovation We do not expect any general criticism. Our Work will of course not ap- ear to all such a model structure as we are honest in regarding P it, but the result is gratifying to ourselves, and as we are about the only persons living Whose preference was in any manner consulted, the critic is kindly invited to take the floor While We quietly smile. - Dear Alumni, we can truthfully say, through the haze and glare of Sanctum smoke, that Old Allegheny has not in many years stood upon the threshold of such an apparently brightfuture. The long,dull period of financial inactivity has at last been broken, and as a result Wilcox Hall has been, during the year, added to the proud possession of our alma maier. Other pecuniary presenta- tions are certain to follow, which will insure us at least one more building as Well as an increased endowment. In this connection it may not be out of place for us to- refer to the relation of the KALDRON to the realized and contemplated improvements.
