NCE again the earth, in her travels around the sun, has reached that point in her path which is characterized by the publication of the R. P. I. TRANSIT. To FHIIU5 . . . . . .. . US lt IS an OCCHSIOD of gI'62llZ IITIPOFIHUCC, and 38 WC Sllbmll f0I' CI'llIlClSm the result of our endeavors, we feel that our fondest hopes are about to be realized or blasted. Therefore, fellow-students, we beseech you, be kind, nor yet too severe in your opinion, for unto you we deliver ourselves, whether we be glad or sad, your mercy may dictate. We wish to thank our contributors for what they have done and for the kindly interest they showed in the work of getting out the book. To them the TRANSIT owes its publi- cation. Nothing pleased us so much nor kept us from growing weary as did the gracious spirit with which they proffered their services. Our only regret is that we have no better way of showing our appreciation. TRANSIT BDARD. I2
