SALUTATORY. FOLLOWING the worthy example of our predecessors, we have ventured upon the field of journalism, in recording another chapter in the history of our beloved Alma Mater. We greet you, our professors, who, by your untiring zeal, are striving to train up our minds and to mould our characters in such a way that hereafter we may be a credit to ourselves and to our Alma Mater. We greet you, the Alumni, who have trodden these paths of learning before us. May the perusal of these few pages call back to your remembrance a few of the many pleasant memories of your college days. We greet you, our fellow-students, who, together with us, are struggling after that priceless boon, — knowledge, — with which to meet successfully the storms of life, and who now with us are experiencing the vicissitudes of a college life. To you especially we dedicate this volume, in the hope that its pages may recall to mind many of the episodes of the past year. To you, dear reader, though it may not give to you the same hours of pleasant thought and remembrance, yet we hope that its perusal will afford at least a moment ' s pleasure. For who is able to portray in a pen-picture the experiences of a college life ? The happy moments we have spent in each other ' s rooms, — the many pleasant incidents

connected with our recitations? All these associations tend to make this period the happiest in our life, — the heyday of our existence. Such associations can be properly appreciated only by those who have shared in their participation. The past year has been an eventful one in the history of our Alma Mater. During it, the doors of the University Library, another monu- ment of the liberality of our worthy founder, have been thrown open, not only to the students, but also to all who may wish to embrace the opportunity. And here we desire to state that the usefulness of the Library has been greatly enhanced through the munificence of the Alumni, who have so generously contributed toward filling its shelves with valuable books. Several changes have been made during the year just passed in the curriculum of the University, which, we believe, will prove of advantage in that they give to the students in the several departments a more systematic training and thoroughness. But the principal change has been the establishment of a School of Law, which will add much to take away its heretofore exclusively technical character, and to raise it one step nearer the ideal University. During the year Professor Mansfield Merriman has been selected to fill the chair of Civil Engineering left vacant by the resignation of Professor S. R. Crumbaugh; and we believe that a more judicious selec- tion could not have been made by our Trustees. We are pleased to note that the Campus has been lately much improved, transforming the former monastic appearance of the grounds into that of a terraced park. xVnd we congratulate our fellow-students upon the probable realization of their long-indulged and long-deferred hope, as we understand that a portion of the Campus will be set apart for the practice of athletic exercises. Our number during the last year has not materially increased, owing, no doubt, to the continued depressed condition of trade through- out the country, and also to the high grade still maintained at the University, the Faculty concurring with the Founder that quality and not quantity should be the end desired.
