Page i oo FINIS Gentle reader, we beg of you to be very charitable as you read these pages, remembering that we are still very young in the experience of life, and have never before tried to write a book. We know now how hard it is, and hope that if we ever attempt to write another, we may profit by our hard-earned experience gotten from this our first. We owe much to the wise judgment and advice of Prof. T. H. Thompson, who has been so kind in aiding us whenever he could. Thanks are due, too, to all the faculty for their kindly interest shown to us and our efforts. Editors. Q UIP S A ND Q UIB B LBS
