ss,j;5)T0BiAi. 4 ' iXCE more into the brench, dear friends; ' ' and with our Epitome we hope to make a breach in the monotony of our college life. The task imposed upon us,as Editors of the Epitome, b}- the Class of 79, has been a severe one, but we hope we have acquitted ourselves with some credit. It has been hard work, especially with the advertisements; for when we explained to a man the great advantage resulting from adver- tising in the Epitome, he very often didn ' t see it in that light. Then we plead with those obdurate men who were so blind to their own welfare. We were filled with a burning, philanthropi- cal desire to benefit those misguided persons — through the advertisement columns in the Epitome. Kind reader, will you believe it, in many cases we failed, although we had Richelieu ' s assurance that in the bright lexicon of youth there ' s no such word as fail? The gymnasium is still viewed through a dimin- ishing glass, and the realization of this project is shrouded in the mists of the future.

a tussle at this noble game. Base ball is in a flourishing eondi- (lition, some very good material for the University nine having been obtained from the Class of ' 80. The Athletic Association has been able, through the liberality of two of the gentlemen of Fountain Hill, to otfer prizes for several of the contests this Fall. Space does not permit our mentioning other College matters and organizations, which will be found further on. And now,hav- ing finished our labors, we present to you in the second Epitome, the continuance of the work so well begun by the Class of ' 78. If we receive half the praise for our efforts that it did, we will be satisfied. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof, so, kind reader, we will not detain you from the feast of reason which awaits you in the following pages.
