0 ,,,. .1,, ,,. .. Harpy Revealed There has been a great mystery as regards the identity of the strange Harpy person. W'hen the Rfd and ll'lz1'tv signed a contract with a certain gentlemen at the beginning of the se- mester, he insisted that his name be kept a secret. Under no other condi- tion would he permit us to publish his works. XYe were forced to do it. Now that the semester is over he has given us his reasons for withholding this information besides giving us permission to scatter his name to the four winds. Under a nome de plume, he could write things that might other- wise affect the general peace between him and all those concerned in his revealing articles. Now that he is graduating, he cares not for the How of public opinion or anything else. He is free. VVe now take pleasure in un- veiling Harfiy as Robert Zllitlinsluha iBatkar7J lSee, we did have enough funds to put his name in old English. Our business manager, though at frrst rather doubtful, asserted that we could afford this luxury. It costs six cents more.5 -The Editors.

You are all, I hope, graduating from the forest preserves into the great wide zoo. I already know a most disreputable wretch, known as Time, who has cap- tured you and he will give you a mys- terious pamphlet called Diploma which ushers you into the world zoo of animals. Dearest little people, you will take those horrible manuscripts and march forth boldly into the big zoo, ready for a long stayg and oh, my dears, what a sad, sad event.
