iEMtorial NOTHER year finds another set of young men and women filling the Junior ranks — a class different in many respects, if not in all, from preceding ones, but still face to face, like the others, with the work of making a collection of the happenings of the year as well as of the bits of chaff and humor dropped here and there. In the absence of a school paper, The Grist occupies a warm place in our affections, for through its medium we may live the college years over again and renew old acquaint- ances. So it behooves us, now our turn has come to gather this fact and folly, to do the work well and with a will, and in the following pages you will find the best we can give to you. In arranging the dates, we have used a poet’s license ; but suffice it to say, you have the events of the year, the nonsense is original, at least for the most part, and if there should be any jokes which rub, just think they must be on some one, then overlook yours and laugh the harder at those on another. As the years pass, The Grist increases in size, for there are more events to be recorded ; more jokes perhaps to be jotted down; more societies and clubs to write about and to be illustrated ; and the book not only becomes larger, but more complicated, and requires more time and more talent. Although we will not own that 1909 lacks anything in the talent used to publish a GRIST which shall be complete, it has not had time to do all the work; so outside talent has been called into play, and different members of the clubs and organizations have written accounts and descriptions of the same, while for illustrations we are indebted to Miss Margaret M. Williams, of Providence, R. I. ; Mr. W. C. Mays, of Providence, R. I. ; Miss M. D. El- dred, of Kingston, R. I.; Mrs. Jennie Bosquet, of Brockton, Mass.; C. B. Edwards, R. I. C. ’10; and R. H. Wheeler, R. I. C. ’09.
