itefaGe. k S we send forth this, our first attempt at an Annual, we do it I in the hope that it may meet with your kind indulgence, and W ' 1 some share of your approval. With no predecessors whose J footsteps to follow and whose success to emulate, we must make a place for The Drift in your favor as best we can. Of course we are too modest to hold up our book to praise ; butwe venture to hope that our efforts to interest you may not have been altogether in vain. We trust that it is understood by all that the project of publishing an Annual was undertaken by the Fraternities not for their own interest or advantage, nor to set forth their own views and opinions, but that they originated the project in the hope that if the book were furnished an assured basis of support, it might, with the aid of all who are interested in nourishing and spreading the college spirit and enthusiasm, be pushed to a successful issue. We are glad and thankful to say that the interest and response has been cheerful and general, and we are confident that The Drift will hereafter be a regular feature of our college annals each year. The University has entered upon a new era of improvement and de- velopment. With the Library and Preparatory Department established in their splendid new quarters, and with the Gymnasium an assured feature for next year, and with good prospects of further improvements in the near future, the increase of college life and enthusiastic college spirit ought to be sufficient to demand and support an Annual for its outlet and expression.
