The class of ’97 has at last passed through the trials and tribu¬ lations incident to the publication of a “Spider Web.” Though it was spun under many difficulties, yet it has been a pleasant task. Classmates have come to know each other better and to feel the power of associated labor. As these new experiences have been thrust upon us, they have been a source of pleasure. A new field of work, with eager but inexperienced laborers, has proved to be an important part of an education. Though the hardy pioneers, who have preceded us, have blazed the trees along their trail, yet we have boldly turned aside from the beaten path of prece¬ dent and hope that others may yet carry the torch farther into the realm of the undiscovered. Doubtless many boards in the past have felt at the end of their year’s work that they were but prepared to begin a volume representing their best effort, but all are satisfied with one year’s experience. The novelty of a new Board, with bright ideas, necessarily adds to the interest which is always exhibited in the College Annual. To introduce all the features of the year’s work which will be cherished in the days of the future, has been our aim. Should any¬ one be disposed to criticize that which is published, let him rather rejoice that so much has been left out. Perchance a flying strand from the Web has caught you in its meshes. ’Tis useless to strug¬ gle; every effort will but draw the cords tighter. Fear not, for the Spider has no venom in his bite, but merely plays with his victim. The night has been spent in spinning, and as the bright sun rises in the East, may each one catch the sparkle of the sunshine in the dew-drops, gathered in the “Spider Web of ’9 7.” 9
