The high standard set by preceding classes in editing their issues of the TRANSIT made the task on which we set out last fall a very difficult one, but we were not to be discouraged, we laid our plans with business-like methods, and with grim determination we have followed these as a hunter would follow a trail. We are con- Hdent that success has rewarded our many weeks of ceaseless labor, and in presenting this volume of the TRANSIT to you we believe we have gotten out a book of which every man in the lnstitute may be proud, and one of which the most fastidious cannot complain. We have criticised where we thought criticism was needed, but in so doing we have always tried to keep justice first in mind, and those men who have received what they consider an undue amount of critical attention may console themselves with the fact that they have unconsciously, perhaps, contributed to the success of this volume, and we wish to thank them for furnishing us with such excellent material. Now, dear friends and fellow students, before passing judg- ment upon this book kindly take into consideration some of the above facts, and allow your sense of charity to favor us in your criticism. Before closing we wish to mention the fact that while the difficulties of the TRANSIT were many, the loyalty of our friends in assisting us with contributions of material and with advertise- ments was pleasing to note and helped in no small degree to soften the hard road we had to tread. To these and all others who helped us by word or deed we tender our sincerest thanks. A '02 TRANSIT Boann, 1
