SALUTATORY ITH THIS YEAR, eighteen hundred and ninety-three, the students of Miami U niversity resume the publication of THE RECENSIO, formerlyknown as 7726 Miami Recensz'o. Though no college annual has been issued at Miami since eighteen hundred and seventy-two, yet we feel assured that the present volume will be doubly welcomed by such of the Alumni and friends of the institution as were interested in the annual of the seventies.
