NORMAL OFFERING 15 '-Iihitnrial. OMEONE has wittingly remarked that, A quill is something taken from the pinions of one goose to help spread the opinions of another. Although this is hardly axiomatic, we fear that it is not always inapplicable to writers. For this reason, the retiring Editors, as they place their pen-holders over their ears and tilt back in the editorial chair, are not wholly without those conflicting emotions which great men are wont to feel when becoming freed from grave responsibilities. I Among the expectations which come each year with the Com- mencement Exercises, there appears a longing in the form of a review of the past school year, which becomes a reality in the NORMAL OFFER- ING. This year the Editorial Board has worked with the idea of leaving a permanent record which will recall in future years the interesting happenings during the eventful school year of 1913-'14, The physical disability of the original editor for this year caused a change in the administration of the OFFERING. But, with the coopera- tion of students, faculty, and editorial board, it has become possible to answer the question When is the OFFERING to come out? for the sixteenth time. This year, owing to a pecuniary shortage, there have been a few changes in the OFFERING, among which are the absence of the prize story and prize cartoon. But changes in the arrangements of headings and class histories, together with an assortment of good, original, and heartfelt jokes, have offset the lack. It is hoped that the change in the arrangement will meet with approval. . The editor regrets that all of the pictures and cartoons which were handed in could not be used, and extends his thanks to those who con- tributed the unused materials. For the rest, we would say that without their aid, the book could not have become a reality, and in appreciation of their good taste and excellent composition we thank those of our Faculty: Mr. A. C. Boy- den, Miss Bertha S. Badger, Miss Florence I. Davis, Miss Alice E.

He that loveth a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, an efficient com- forter.
