To 1901. ON, on the seasons roll ; the years are gone, And changing Time moves ever on its way ; The past is dead : yet fondest hope lives on, Though many months are now as yesterday. Old Century ' s round now fast draws to a close ; As Susquehanna gliding to the deep, The days glide on ; as oft the sun arose He soon shall rise to view the age complete. Forsooth, it is a goodly sight to see, What heaven hath done for this our chosen land 1 How virtuous Wisdom spreads so boundless free And Truth ' s dominions with the years expand ' Jlay ever on then strive our loyal band With noblest courage for the Century new ; Faithful in all, when duty gives command, To -Alma Maler and our country tnie.

Salutation. « « THE class of 1901 presents L ' Agenda to the students and friends of Bucknell, trusting that it will be a source of pleasure to them as they scan its pages. In several particulars we have followed the general plan of our predecessors, et we have added some new features which we hope and fully believe add greatly- to the beauty and merits of the book. In view of the fact that the Alumni Department of last year ' s annual has met with such general satisfaction, and also realizing that it is an essential part of a college publication we have continued it this year. Every phase of college life has been presented and to the University we have given several pages as a tribute to our Alma Mater. The Art Department has been made an object of .special .study and our artist deserves much credit for making this part a success. L ' Agenda has been clothed in royal purple, our class color, and stamped with an ellipse of our flower. Thus we have made use of all our class emblems. In regard to size, we have aimed to present a volume conforming more to the proportions of a standard library book. We believe that a college annual ought, primarilv, to represent the affairs of student life and so we have omitted the disagreeable feature of Roasting the Profs. Our object has been to make the publication a literary work ; hence we have cut out everything which could possiblv injure anyone ' s reputation or standing among his fellow-.students. We have tried to produce a book which would reflect credit upon the class and upon the school whose privileges we have enjoyed during the past three years. The work itself will be a silent witness as to whether or not we have succeeded in our efforts. We wish to express our thanks to all who have in any way helped us in our labors. Respectfulh-, The Editors.
