Zlinrrtnnrh E. present. you, in behalf ofthe Class of Nineteen Hundred 1 and Fifteen, this, the ninth volume of THE PURPLE PATCHER. The class has succeeded in publishing this volume despite all dampening effects upon the spirits of those who were giving the time and efforts that the book might live. How well it has succeeded we leave for you to judge. That the PURPLE PATCHER may ever thrive and prosper we offer a word of advice to our successors: that the methods of publishing annuals in other colleges be studied and these two features be inaugurated: a development of an editorial and business board from early in the college course and a co- operation of editorial and business board that both may work, not only for literary excellence, but for financial success as well. This advice which we offer has been gained through our own experience and we offer it with the one thought for the future successes of THE PATCHER. Due changes have been made with la view to improvement. We have adhered to the general sameness that has featured PATCHERS of previous editions, for THE PATCHER is an institution and as such must ever remain. We ask of you, therefore, that you view our inaugurations with charity. The authors take pleasure and a pardonable pride in submitting to the kindness of your criticism and enjoyment, THE PATCI-IER of l9l5. Wgfz o a e or HY
