6 The Miami Recensio. A new department, that of Military Science and Tactics, has been introduced, of the success of which we can not, as yet, boast. Sever- al changes have been made in the Faculty, as will be seen by refer- ence to the proper page. Suffice to say that while all regret the loss of the old Professors, the new ones have entered upon their work and received the good will of the students. On the whole we think tt Miami will now compare favorably with any institution in the West, and that her prospects are better than ever before.

'lg'lND PATRONS: Another year has rolled around, and .I . . 1;;an the RECENSIO 15 presented for your perusal; hopmg that g?tgg it any prnve of interest not only at present, but that, as its name indicates, it may recall many pleasant recollections in after life when chinking back of the many happy days spent in ttOld MinmiF Cognizant of the fact that we, as humble Sophomores, are less capable of the work than Seniors 0r Juniors, still, the work being placed upon us, we enter upon it with zeal, hoping that the reader will give us credit f0r what may be worthy, and deal gently with our errors. Since last the RECExsto was published. many and important im- provements have been made at tl Miami. A large and beautiful wing has been built on the west. side of the main building in place of the former 51111.1 and unseemly attachment. The main building has also been repaired inside and out. The halls and recitation rooms have been refitted, and the latter are far more inviting than the dingy rooms then occupied. The old Lbreztli-neck stairway has given place to a new one. The old chapel has been refitted, and is now used as a Cabinet, which, hv the way, is being rapidly filled by Dr. Osborn. The outside, which then presented almust as many dlti'erent colors as there were bricks, has received a. new coat of paint.
