We surely may be proud of the fact that through our instrumentality the long dreamed of Annual has become a reality. The complete history of our progress from that first memorable day when we, great, green. bashful simpIetons, timidly took our places in the rear ranks of knowledge, to the present time, when we look down from Senior heights with a sort of kindly contempt upon our freshman days, could never be told in the space allotted to us. We must make our remarks brief, and hope our friends may bear their disappointment with fortitude. 1884 Preface With this volume the Annual appears under a new name, a new form, and an entirely new management. lt has seemed best to its friends to discontinue it as the organ of the Senior Class, and place it in the hands of the Fraternities, believing thus to gain for it a more hearly support, as well as to better insure its permanency and future improvement. 1885 Greeting To all persons of a liberal and philanthropical turn of mind, who possess a fortune of fifty cents and over, this volume is most cordially dedicated by the Editors. 1886 Dedication
