For those contributions which faculty, student body, and alumni have so kindly made, the e ditors extend sincere thanks 5 and if with their assistance we have depicted but one phase of college life with that realism which warms the graduate's memory of his college days, or stirs the under- graduate to increased love of his Alma Mater, our aim has been accomplished. 6

Lake Forest College and its preparatory schools stand for a thorough educational development toward a well rounded Christian manhood and Womanhood. The main object is not to produce culture or erudition, but rather men and women who can and will be of the highest service to the state. If the college can inculcate in each student as the ideal of life's work the spirit of unselfish devotion to the cause of pro- moting a better citizenship, a more loyal patriotism, and a more practical and every day Christianity, it will have fulfilled its mission. To accomplish this end, the curriculum, while preserving a broad and general basis, will be gradually specialized to a certain degree toward the very best instruction in English-the art of expressionAfAmerican history, Political Economy and Social Science. Its proximity to the City of Chicago will make it easy to bring the student into close contact with the great modern problems to be considered in this course, and to enable them to hear from men of affairs in the city, who from time to time will speak to the students. With these objects and these opportunities, together with a beautiful and most healthful location, the Trustees believe that Lake Forest will have a unique and most useful position among the so-called small colleges of the middle west. The loyal spirit now existing among the Faculty, the Alumni, and the Students will I am sure continue and develop a growing enthusiasm and co-operation which will bring all these hoped-for results.
