good effect and to them all we are most grateful. To Messrs. Chase, Moorhead, Barringer and others who are veterans in Violet publication, and to the Meriden Gravure Company for suggestions and assistance We owe thanks also. Finally, We are sincerely grateful to the alumni of the University, who have so kindly ordered in advance many copies of this book. VVhen the covers of the next Violet shall be opened, it Will, We trust, be upon the scene of our new and more suitable quarters in upper New York, until which time We bid our readers adieu. ff, like gi f? - ,.,, 3, ps A Qwgi llwi , LO

the memorials that it contains, in the shape of sun and pen pictures, of the old University building, so soon to be torn down. A structure like this, associated most intimately with men and events of whom our country, nay, the world, is proud, should be held dearest and cherished longest in the hearts of those who are the last to receive their character-training in its halls, and hence inherit the longest line of tradition of the successes which those have achieved who have gone before. In later pages of this volume, reference will be made to some of the men who are most to be remembered by us for their lives and deeds in and for this University in the past. Let it now be our pleasant task to thank the men of the present, who each day have been unselfishly helping in the work of publishing this annual, by which we are to be known and judged by outsiders. First of all let us mention Dr. Austin Abbott, the dean of our Law School. The dedication of this book to him is but a hint of the honor and esteem which is his due, and which it is our pleasure to acknowledge.

VVe are especially glad to welcome from Lafayette College, Dr. Addison Ballard, who comes to us as professor of ethics and logic. May his stay with us be as long and pleasant as his stay at Easton. 'We cannot close this department of the Violet for another year, without thanking those our fellow- students who have materially assisted in the multitude of details incident to the publication of such a book as this. Especially do the artists deserve our remembrance for their share in that important feature of college annuals, the illustrations. Mr. Wightman, '95, has freely given of his time and his experience with the camera, in taking the originals of the Hartotypes of the University building, inserted in these pages. Messrs. Irwin, Pentz, Munson, Graecen and others have used their pencils with 9
