ALH succeeding year brings to our vision the fruits and flowers, products of the earth. They are always the same in name but so different to the senses as to gnc us new Joys and pleasures ' From the flower garden of the R. P. I., the .Tumor Class, blossoms once more The I3 Transit. It has long been developing. Many, many weeks, nay, months it was time . . . . . . . . almost nothing, but receiving nourishment from time to time, in form of literature, qi sketches and ads., it is Bnally presented. It may or may not be kindly received- That depends upon the goodnature of our readers. To those of our fellow-students of whom we have made particular mention. we wish to say that the intention was to be fair to all. We know every good fellow likes a joke, whether it is on himself or on another. We have tried to keep out of our book anything that might hurt the feelings of anyone. We hope, and as we know most of our readers, we feel assured that they will not be too critical in judging our effort. The sentiment of the Board of Editors is: This, our book, is not so bad, And should you note some slight defect Or so it seems to me, Within its prose or verse, As what you might have thought it, Please don't forget to recollect Had we made it thicker, see ? We've written stuff that's worse. Seriously, we have found our task a pleasure, because of the kindness of our contributors. We take this means of thanking them, and do not hesitate to say, that whatever merit may be in our Transit is unqualiliedly due to them. TRANsIT BO.-XRD. l-1
