able suggestions and contributions. There are many whom we desire to thank for their timely assistance. Dr. MacAlister and the Faculty have ever been kind and willing advisers,-not cursors. Professor Bailie, our Laithful director, always is the thoughtful, anxious father of his flock-that means everything. Professor Eaton was ever ready to answer questions and make suggestions of a practical nature. The Art and the Decorative Design Departments came nobly forward and taught us to use practical art, instead of theoretical makeshifts. Lastly, and most prominently of all, stands out that wonderful professor,--Mr. Truscott,-the student's friend at all times and in everything. He is directly responsible for the Department and Administration headings. If he needed a reputation, we are con- fident that this work alone would make it beyond all question. As a matter of fact, we are afraid that this incidental achievement will be lost sight of in the halo of his past and future triumphs. Look, then, and judge everything for yourselves.

Eclitor's Preface. Y 112' who tries io plczzsc azu'rybozzj', jdmscs uoboajff' 9 DEAR Reader, if you have very decided opinions upon class- books, you had better stop at once and seek not to pry farther into this epitome of monumental energy and labor. This is a class-book, and yet it is not one in the ordinarily accepted meaning of that word. It presents to the student-body much of that good, bad and indifferent reading matter so dear to tlieirhearts, but at the same time it is a valuable souvenir of a grand iaidd'ig1o1'ious educational institution. There is no one, probably, who canriot be good-naturedly and justly painted in a humorous position-provided one sees him at the right time and has the requisite skill to delineate him. But mark well, however, the endeavor has been to do away with those cutting, biting, plain-as-day thrusts, which ought not, necessarily, to be part of a good-humored caricature. Of course, our friends will be aware of the fact that the editors are not chosen, on account of special literary ability, but often through accident, and more especially by reason of popularity, so do not look for the highly-Finished production that other more capable ones in the class could present to you. If we had the time, we could do much better. If we had the same short period over again, we could make many improvements. But let all that pass- We feel that the child of our brain and of the brain of our helpers need not beg pardon for its existence. The Department of Mechanic Arts publishes the book-since some one department must do it, and since this particular department was the first upon the field--and the other departments aid by valu- 9
