Trologee. HEX tield and meadow, Vale and glen with joyous clamor ring, That is the time when college men their yearly greeting bring. And thus the Hamiltonian goes wandering forth anew, Ot' all our love he it again a harhinger to you. It is a goodly harhinger and tells full many a tale How dear old College proudly looks o'er hill and teeming dale. ln stories grave and full of full of fun, in prose and flowing rhyme, It will recall to each of you your golden eollege time. And therefore when from hallowed halls the Wanderer comes once more, All you who were within their Walls, oh I open Wide your door 5 And may your heart with gladness fill when you are proudly told Tlnat nlmnl lllflffl' on the Hill is thriving as of old.

Editorial. OR the last two years the H,XBIII,'Fl3NIiXN has been rapidly rising in the literary horizon and steadily becoming more conspicuous among its compeers. The production of last year seemed at the time of its ap- pearance to have reached the zenith of our aspirations and the full-orbcd radiance of perfection. But it is a well known tact in astronomy that there is no star so brilliant that its splendor may not be eclipsed by a vastly inferior body brought nearer to the observerls eye. In recognition of this tact we have striven to produce an annual that shall be a dangerous companion to the one issued last year. It has therefore been our purpose to publish an annual that shall be simple and natural in arrangement and complete and impartial in the state- ment of tact-one that shall leave nothing to be desired either in the number and quality of illustrations or in the style and beauty of its binding and printing. Our object is to present an accurate picture of college life during the last year. t'lVith malice towards none, the editors have tried to 'hit off li college matters, to bring to light the humorous happenings of the year, and to poke good-nalured fun at the failings and eccentricilies of the faculty and the students. It is not for us to say whether our purpose has been accomplished. lVe have labored long and diligently. We have done our utmost and have no apologies to make, nothing even to take back. Our only regret is-like Nathan Halels-that we each have but one life to lose. The editors now leave you to your perusal and criticism while they hasten to make a farewell visit to their friends at a di-tance, where they have been compelled to spend so much of their time of late. They feel the approach of another attack of those dreadful maladies that have been so insatiably rampant upon our hillside during the last few weeks, and seek recuperation for their shattered nerves under the placid influences of the country, where they may also find time to mourn the dreadful mortality among friends and relations, since their work began. Congratulations as well as donations to the Hamiltonian Editorsl Relief Fund should be sent to the Dean of the Faculty, by whom they will be promptly forwarded to the grateful and deserving sufferers. r- I
