w Salutatory. E have fought a good fight, we have finished our work, we have gotten the copy ready for the printer, and now it behooveth us to write a Salutatory. How shall it run ? Shall it be a string of apologies, after the style of that very humble person, Mr. Uriah Heep, setting forth with much repetition that we have done our best ; that we never edited an epitome before (startling fact) ; that we have done our very best, etc. ? Or shall we adopt the review style, and run down the list of college affairs, giving out solid hunks of wisdom in short paragraphs on each subject,— remarking that the Athletic Association is doing well ; that the choir isn ' t ; that the glee club is defunct; that the base-ball interest is in its usual comatose state, etc., etc. ? Both of these styles are out of place in an article of this kind, and when carried out with consistency and at length— as is, alas ! too often the case- become inexpressibly tiresome. Granting our reader common sense, he will not expect to find in five college boys a writer like Ruskin, or a publisher like Harper. Granting him common intelligence, he will be posted in college matters ; if he is not, let him subscribe for the Burr. But to return to our subject and salute our reader. In brief then, we have worked ; the result of our labor is before you ; you pay your money, and thereby acquire the right of criticising or praising as may seem to you most fit. Not the lightest portion of our labor has been our mis- siona ry work among our advertisers. We have braved almost the terrors of cannibalism to preach the gospel of advertising to them.

We live as a class in a transition period, bridging the chasm between the old and new state of things. Four new professors have been added to the Faculty within the last year. Seventy new names have been added to the list of students. The air is full of gymnasium and rumors of gymnasium. The much promised, long-looked-for professor of mechanical engineering has at length appeared. We had gotten up something scathing upon his non-arrival ; b ut, luckily for the Faculty and Trustees, who were thus doomed to writhe beneath our sarcasm, his coming was announced at the last moment, and we have suppressed it. ' Twas a narrow escape for them. We will not give free rein to our fancy (after the manner of our predecessors), and allow it to dilate on the extraordinary towering propensities of our university, for fear it might buck, as we haven ' t got it well under control, and spill our small supply of brains. We will not detain you, reader, to witness any such exhibition of bareback riding. Go in peace ; we have spoken.
