After serving for fourteen months as Resi- dent Physician at the Charity Hospital in Philadelphia, Dr. Weaver settled in Nor- ristown, where he has been for many years a leading physician.

Editorial MARVELLOUS has been the growth of the institution that we fondly own as our Alma Mater. From a small beginning she has developed into one of the leading universities of the state. Formerly her students were counted bv tens, they are now numbered by hundreds. New buildings have sprung up as though by the magic touch of some unseen goddess; the faculty has in- creased, and the curriculum greatly broadened. In athletics we have reached an eminence from which the fame of our big B, on its background of blue, has been sounded afar. The Class of 1904 desiring to add its little mite towards this wonderful progress risks the public displeasure, by thrusting upon it this piece of their workmanship. In enlarging the annual, and in our attempt to raise the standard of its material, we expose ourselves to the pitfalls which ever threaten the innovator. If we have succeeded in setting a precedent that will redound to the honor of dear old Bucknell, we shall rest content, feeling that our work has not been fruitless. And now, dear reader, we beg of you turn over a leaf and behold the result of 1904 ' s sincerest endeavors to uphold the reputation of our class and of our Alma Mater. i III
