Ebitorial aa' OUR years have passed since an HADYTUM 3' was issued from Denison University. The students who were then connected with the college have bade farewell to their Alma Mater and passed to a larger field of action, and many who were then preparing to shake OE the dust of Prepdom are now eagerly looking forward to graduation from the College in June. The jokes of the last HADYTUM l' have, one by one, traversed the sepulchral path which leads to the dreary Catacombs from whence no joke returns. in Dame Prosperity whose benignant smiles have lighted Denison's pathway, has long demanded the planting of a new chestnut tree under whose boughs we might seek needed diversion and rest our minds, wearied by the humdrurn of the class-room and dulled by the effluvia of the midnight oil. f'Ninety- siX'7 dug a shallow hole and placed therein a tender slip, which soon withered and was not. But along came an energetic traveler and paused in thoughtful meditation before the desolate spot, Then Hinging forth a banner in 'C black and goldfl he pointed out to his intrepid followers the inspiring words it bore, MPM' onewl. Amid the glad shouts of Denison's cohorts the Class of '97 dug up the dessicated fizzle, made the hole deeper and wider, and planted therein a mighty sapling. lt grew and behold it was a ccastcmea resca! And now, dear reader, should you find some of its fruit dry and wormy, fiing it not with the hand of hasty criticism at the care-worn editors, but gently lay it aside and seek the few toothsome carpels which we earnestly hope are embodied in the dry. husks of this book.
