Aside from the blow that has fallen upon the Institute at large, the Board has suffered two severe misfortunes in the sudden death of one of its members, and in the illness and absence for a time of the Editor in Chief. The two especial ends sought in this book have been, valuable and ac- curate statistics, and humor which should amuse and not oitend. A jest's prosperity, however, lies in the ear of him that hears it, never in the tongue 'ot him that makes it. The Editors ask, then, for a charitable construction upon this part of their work, not one line of which has been penned in other than ah spirit of cordial good nature. Everything in the book is, as usual, exclusively the work ot undergraduates and alumni of the Institute. The Board is especially pleased to have been enabled to present the book in a more pleasing shape than has been possible in the past, by the addition of a leather binding. The Editors trust that the shortcomings in their work may be extenu- ated by the circumstances mentioned, while the praise for any merit the volume may contain is due to the Class of '98, in whose name this TECHNIQUE is edited and published. 5
