In the publication of this book the editors have tried to accomphsh two ends. First, they have sought to detail in the following pages those events which will be, to the stu- dents of the Institute, pleasant reminders of a year ' s work. Second, they have tried to present to the friends of Technology a true picture wliich shall give them a glimpse of the history of the Institute, of its pleasures, and of its toil. As the Junior annual the members of the ' board present this volume to their class- mates, hoping that it may not be considered an unworthy memorial of the Class of Ninety-four. As the college publication the)- tiust it will be pleasing to all their fellow-students. They beg tlie critics to deal charitably with the mistakes which they may find. From those who have labored and won, they are confident of receiving that sympathy which is mutual between fellow-workers. You whose turn has not yet come, judge not those things in which you have not had experience. Profit by the errors you find ; but when tempted to speak or think unkindly, believe the testimony of this board that its work has been earnest as well as enjoyable. Two musical selections will be found in this book, but neither of them has been called the Institute Song. The board considered the songs and words of both selections worth publishing, but thought that in both cases the music was not the best that Technology could procure as its representative production. If, after the awakening which has occurred this year, steps shall be taken gradualh but stead- ily towards the formation of a song book, the Technique board will feel that its work has been beneficial to the school. Thanks are due to many friends who have assisted the editors. One and all please accept the little that the board can offer as a trib- ute to your kindness. With best wishes for the continued increase in prosperity of the Institute, and for the success of future Techniques, the editors beg leave to place themselves in the background, that the book may speak for itself. EDITORS.
