of History. In our opinion, a more desirable choice could not have been made. The number of students this year is largely in excess of last. In the freshman class we are pleased to see a good repre- sentation of foreign students, which shows that Lehigh University is highly esteemed abroad. The Athletic Association is to be congratulated on the acquirement of its long desired object — the completion of the Eastern portion of the University grounds into a course, on which to hold, hereafter, the semi-annual athletic meetings. The interest taken in the sports is on the increase, and the suc- cessful competition of one of our students,at the Inter-Collegiate meeting of last Spring, has brought our physical vigor into more than passing notice. We regret that R. H. Lee, Jr., who was appointed as one of the editors of our Epitome, on account of his leaving the University, has been obliged to tender his resignation from act- ing on the editorial staff. As poets, journalists and the like are born, not made, we pass these pages into your hands, kind reader, awaiting from you a mild judgment concerning them, as they are but the crude results of mistaken genius.
