the same time to get together men who are willing to co-operate and strive to- gether for the honor of their school and this publication. It is to be hoped that no one will take our jokes too seriously just because they are in print. We must also be allowed the poet ' s license to distort facts a little, for this book would be a fearsome thing if it adhered too closely to the truth. In conclusion, we desire to thank those who by sundry little acts of courtesy and help, have assisted us in this work. It has been a little more strenuous than we expected, but we sincerely believe that the Rollamo is the best possible medium of bringing the attention of prospective students to the advantages of an education at M. S. M, Finally, we desire to wish all good luck to the Board of 1910. m

In presenting Volume III of the Rollamo to the students and Alumni of M. S. M, we feel that it is impossible for us to conscientiously apologize for its shortcomings and failings. This is not because we are blind to the faults of our book, but because we are confident that we have done all that could be done with the very meagre and indifferent contributions that were sent in. Whether the lack of contributions is due to genuine modesty or to equally genuine laziness and indifference we are not prepared to state, but we hold our own opinions on the subject. We are not grumbling about our financial support. That indeed, has always been most generous from both students and Alumni alike. But a book cannot exist on money alone, and the work of the Rollamo Board is essentially to organize and edit. Instead of this, the present Rollamo Board have had to do over ninety per cent of their drawings and written matter, and if the Year Book is to flourish in years to come it is very certain that it will have to receive more help in the future than it has in the past. It has been our aim and object, in the present issue, to try and depart from the usual time-worn path usually associated with college annuals, deleting as much as possible all long and wearying descriptions, and to substitute for these sketches and photographs, which, as the years pass, shall serve to remind us of the days we once spent together at M. S. M. Much grumbling sometimes goes on about the way the Rollamo Board is elected, and a word in defense of this will not be out of place. Any scheme of student election must necessarily defeat its own object, as it is not the men who are the most popular, or who can canvass the greatest number of votes, that will as a rule make the best editors and work the hardest for the welfare of their book. It is better to leave this matter in the hands of the retiring board, who know the difficulties that have to be faced, and who will try to select men whom they know will do their best to work together for a common end. Neither is it fitting that any retiring board should try and hamper their successors by any “Constitutions” and rules. The only essential rule is that a strict account be kept of all money, and a copy of this left at the office every year. We decided to abandon the idea of having this book published by the Junior Class. This school is not yet large enough to permit the selection of the editors from any one class. We think that these should be elected according to their ability and qualifications, irrespective of any ciass or organization, aiming at
