(Srcctums E are presenting you with the eighth volume of the SOU ' WESTER. It is far below our ideal, but it represents the expenditure of an im- mense amount of labor, and the staff craves the credit of having put forth an earnest, honest effort. We have not striven to make of this volume a distinctly literary creation; rather, it has been our ambition to preserve for you a picture of one year of your college life. If you try, you can readily find fault with it. There are things in it that may not suit you — neither are we pleased with them. You may fail to see the point in a drawing; or you may find a joke that does not cause an explosion of hilarity within your- self. In the event such is true, the staff will gladly explain to you any abstruse passage and try to make you see through it. tj We prefer, however, that you beam on our witticisms and sagely pass on all our literary productions an optimistic judgment, calling them meritorious productions of rising young authors. But, seriously, we have honestly tried to make this book worthy of our Alma Mater; and we thank those kindly spirits who have helped us, and have tried to appreciate our efforts. We shall treasure them in our hearts till all the seas gang dry.
