SlntrniiurtUm. This volume of the yearly ‘publication, of the University makes its appearance with a new title , “THE CHERRY TREE ” After the sale of the University property at the head of the Mall , whose location inspired the last name of the annual , “THE MALL” 1 was deem- ed inappropriate as a title for the book, and on this account the Board of Editors selected the present title , suggested by Mr. Leon Lawrence Lewis , of the College of Political Sciences, as one more suggestive of the University , and more appropriate for a publication of this character. This , as has been intimated above , inaug- urates the third series of the University year- book, the first haring been published by the graduating class of Columbian College, from 1898 to 1904, under the name of “ THE CO- LUMBIADP Beginning with the number for 1905, and until this year, it has been called “THE MALL.” To make this volume a true and attractive record of all the happenings that make valu- able to memory the retrospect of an University life has been the constant endeavor of the Board, In conclusion, it seems fitting to express our especial appreciation of the material aid rendered us in issuing this volume by those contributors whose names are here inscribed-.
