Several days after the cherished plan of the class had thus been so enthu- siastically made public by the lower class, the editors assumed the insignia of their office. The selection of a name for the book required much thought and discus- sion. Many names were suggested, and from the many was chosen the title which the book bears-SA1.M,xGUNn1. SALMAGUNDI brings before its readers the different phases of school life one meets in the Polytechnic. Not only does the publication lead the interested one through the adventurous period of a school term, but, after gathering here and there the many little incidents that may have occurred in classroom or corridor, it mixes the ingredients obtained in so bewitching a way that the meaning of the title-a mixture of many ingredients-is clearly exemplified. Yet, what's in a name? There were hard places, of courseg but whenever the editors found the work very burdensome, the class would good-naturedly put its shoulder to the wheel, and S.xI.M.xGUNDI would bowl along rejoicing. And so things have progressed until, after much scribbling and scrawl- ing and wasting of ink, theeditors are pleased to announce that the work is completed. Notwithstanding the pleasure it affords the editors to have completed their task, it is with no little hesitancy that they place before you the result of their laborsg and, inelegant and unpolished as the work is, still the editors indulge the hope that, between the rough and crude lines, there will be found something that may interest every reader. How delightful it is to have things all one's own way! Let not the instructor, therefore, be shocked if, while carelessly turning these pages, he should be confronted by a rather exaggerated likeness of himself. The members of the class beg to remind him that it is now their turn. Let him also remember that there will ever exist that regard for him' and respect for his work, which is sometimes the only, and always the most lasting, of every right-minded student's memory of his Alma Mater. And then, all ye students! Accept your digs as becomes men, and ever be loved by the class of 'O2. In behalf of the class, the editors wish to express their thanks to Messrs. Walter M. Gieske, Benjamin F. Foster and Milton Kraemer, who have so kindly assisted in enhancing the appearence of the volume by their artistic contributions. Special acknowledgment is due Mr. Samuel M. North, Head of the Department of English, for assistance in reading the proof. THE EDITORS. ix
