igo6 THE BOMB Editorial IN view of the fact that numberless College annuals are published yearly and that it is impossible for us to examine them all, we beg of the public not to charge us with plagairism, if perchance there should appear within, any ideas not exactly original. Furthermore, this is not intended for a work of art, but merely a reminder of the good old times we have had at the Institute. It is not printed to be criticised, but to be enjoyed by those who are interested in the old school. When we grow old and time hangs heavy, may we find consolation and enjoyment in looking over these pages which contain notes of the happiest days of our lives.
