dan, Kyle, C. S. Leavell, S. F. Mitchell,,1IcLean, lIcKinney, Trotter, Vardaman, M. E. VVhitc and 1Vise. The cares of the editor have been great and burdensome, but we assure you that we shall be fully repaid for every trial and every worry met with in the production of this book if, occasionally in future years, amid the rush of actual life, some member of the student body of the session of 1911-1912, as the shades of evening draw nigh, will open a musty-and we hope, treasured-volume and read to the family circle drawn around the fireside the record of this year at the University of Missis- sippig 01', if, perchance, some happy bachelor, wrapt in the security of his lonely quarters, with the smoke from his trusty pipe ascending in clouds above his head, will from these pages refresh his memory of the college days to come no more. Then, if we have performed our task well, the tear-stain upon these pages will evidence the appreciation of our efforts and the love for our Alma Mater. Our function is ended and our course is run. Adieu, ,til we meet again. BUDDY ALEXANDER-iiuy0Il't you fellows cut out that racket--I've got to write to Sue.
