V , RULY, my guest, ours is an anxious V hand that now welcomes you through my the gates of this our newly planted rs ,, garden, an anxious eye that watches for a nod of satisfaction as you pass along between these pages which we have so care- fully taught to grow. We called this book our garden. 'Yea so nzis-bounded by a garden wall--silently watched by a lonely Moor who sits by the gate and reads. It is our oriental garden -where you may rest and think, and live and enjoy. 'We have worked earnestly for this little book -have found pleasure in the doing and comfort in the result. For encouragement, we looked to the future, this very moment-when all is fin- ished, and we, glowing with unconeealed pride, lead yorlin to see-has been the bulude of our thousand dreams. And now, dear reader, should you return from this short visit, richer for hav- ing found but one new thought, happier for one nune mnUe,um dudlbe mnuentto honorthat thought and that smile as our priceless reward. l22l

IJ Q T is the time-l1onored custom for a W school-paper editor, on such occa- ,.A sions as this, to express some appre- Al ciation of his staff and faculty ad- visers, who, as he acknowledges, have helped so much towards the general success of the publication. This may be perfectly proper, but it strikes us as some- what formal. We mean, it seems a little unnecessary to force 'such a distinction between those who did it and those who helped do it, that it appears rather mercenary to divide with the one the glory, and pay off the other with thanks Therefore, we presume no apprecia- tions. We know that everyone who had an in- terest in this book has borne an equal share of its making, and that he shall wish no other re- turns than the self-satisfaction of having done his work properly. To the members of our Faculty, the students of Polytechnic have dedicated this edition of their Polytechnic Student. We owe nothing less than our greatest mark of respect and devotion to those, our friends, who, during these founda- tion years of our education, have taught us to lay a corner-stone to life. E231
