Sutniftnrtimt. This volume of the yearly publication of the Uni- versity 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” was deemed inappropriate as a title for the book, and on this account the Board of Editors selected the present title, suggested by Mr. Leon Lawrence Leivis, of the College of Political Sciences, as one more suggestive of the University, and more appro- priate for a publication of this character. This, as has been intimated above, inaugurates the third series of the University yearbook, the first hav- ing been published by the graduating class of Colum- bian College, from 1898 to 190U, under the name of “THE COLUMBIAD.” Beginning with the number for 1905, and until this year, it has been called “THE MALL.” To make this volume a tme and attractive record of all the happenings that mak e valuable to memoi y the retrospect of an University life has been the con- stant endeavor of the Board. m if mffr, Reprinted from the first Cherry Tree, 1908 4
