SALUTATORY. S those who have preceded us have done, so do we, in venturing upon the editing of this little work, which will register another leaf among the annals of our Alma Mater. To you, our worthy professors, who have always given us kindly aid and careful attention in forming us for an honorable struggle in our life-battle, we present our greeting, feeling con- fident that you, who best know our capabilities, will judge leniently of what is contained in this, our first literary under- taking. We greet you, friendly alumni, whom we hope at some future day to take by the hand and be ranked among. May you find in this things which will recall your, perhaps, truant memory to the time when you were laboring in these same walls and strove to wield the pen to produce such a work as this. You, fellow students, with whom we have been for the past year co-workers, united by one of the strongest of bonds — that of friendship — we greet, hoping that the Epitome will depict to you scenes with which you are, at present, familiar, but which, after you enter upon your several life duties, will grow dim in your remembrance; then, if you shall have preserved these pages, they will need but a passing glance to re-portray to you a few of the pleasing incidents of one year of your college life.
