PREFACE. THE third volume of The Colonial Echo is before you, with our best wishes. We do not wish to bore you with excuses, but only ask for a consideration of the great difficulties that had to be overcome, and the arduous labors that we have spent to make this little volume attractive. We have endeavored to give a panoramic view of college life as it appears upon the campus, in the dormitories, lecture-rooms, society halls, Y. M. C. A, athletic field, and everywhere dealing with all these experiences as one with a light heart, of keen sensibilities, and always a bent towards the humorous. If any- thing of importance has escaped our notice, it has surely been unintentional on our part. Now and then we have sought to penetrate into the pith and marrow, but in general we have left the deep and didactic side of life to our more philosophic contemporaries. That our friends may find a pleasure in straying over these pages, and share with us the sacred reverence for the glory of our Alma Mater, so interwoven with the memories of Colonial Virginia, and that we may in after years, when entangled in life ' s hard battles, ever revert to the pages of this little book and fondly brood over these cherished expe- riences and inspiring scenes, is our sincerest wish. We desire to express our deep gratitude to the Board of Visitors, Faculty, and the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity, for the aid which they have so kindly extended to us ; and especially do we acknowledge our indebtedness to the student body for their constant support in all our undertakings The Board.
