SALUTATORY. THE time has at last arrived for ' 83 to publish the Epitome, and, inasmuch as she has consigned to us the editorship, it is with feelings of much anxiety that we offer the result of our labors. We did not expect to produce a work of much literary merit, this being our first attempt at such a production ; but we hope we have succeeded in offering to our friends a publication which, in its journey to its different destinations, will tend to leave a good impression of our University, of its professors and its students. We take much pleasure, and, we may add, great pride, in being able to give to our Alma Mater our best and most heartfelt wishes for her success in years to come, and have no doubt but that she will stand among the best and most thorough colleges in the land. We trust she may never be able to look back on ' 83 but with feelings of pleasure and pride ; for it is with such sensations that we think and speak of her now, while enjoying her protection. To ' 83 and the other classes belong the pleasure and duty of plac- ing the University among the first institutions of learning in this country. It is only by industry and close application to study that this can be accomplished. Upon our faithfulness depends the reputation of its graduates. Who, when he sees, in his mind ' s eye, Lehigh University towering above all others, by reason of the competency of its sons in their several professions, will not be eager to do his part, that he may share in the glory and honor of so ennobling an undertaking? Our countrymen go to Europe for a more thorough course in their specialties ; but why need this be ? why cannot this country afford such

advantage to the student ? Such will be the case when the American universities are so careful and exacting that their diplomas mean some- thing more than four years ' attendance at the college ; and such, we flatter ourselves, does Lehigh ' s at the present day. If our Epitome could be the means of opening the eyes of the people to a realization of the genuine worth of our college, then would the thought, work and time we have given to it be fully requited. The University has been particularly fortunate in her new presi- dent. He came among us in April last, bringing with him the experi- ence of many years ' successful practice at the bar, great ability, remark- able energy, and the determination to make the University all her founder desired. Dr. Lamberton is no theorist; practical, and of strong will, his hand is noticeable in everything. Kind and affable, he has the love and respect of the Faculty and students. The University has a glorious future before her. With unlimited wealth, an able Faculty, and, what is more important, a deep-rooted feeling among her students that it belongs to them to shape her destiny, she must succeed.
