— — ——— Being published by the class taking the most difficult year of our trying course, and over- burdened with work, we ask our readers to exercise their generosity and lenience in their criticism of this, the third in the chain of Links. We also ask the artists, who have contributed to this volume, to pardon any impatience with them which we may have exhibited, and assure them that we are cognizant of the immense amount of time and labor which their contributions have entailed. The Link oF ‘92 goes forth, then, with the hope that it will meet with the universal praise which has been accorded its predecessors, and for whose success the Editors have directed their best endeavors.

EDITORIAL. TEVENS not being an institution in which the students receive an extensive literary education, and in which very little time is given to those who possess literary propensi- ties, to cultivate their tastes in that direction, our patrons cannot justly expect us to produce a work of any marked excellence of that character. We have endeavored to make the Link oF ’92 a handsome and interesting chronicle of the growth, development and prosperity of our college institutions and organizations, and have, fortunately, been able to call to our aid a faculty which a number of our Stevens men possess to a notable degree, namely, their artistic talents and ability. It is, and has been for the past few years a remarkable fact that there have been a number of men attend- ing Stevens who have attained to a marked degree of excellence in producing artistic work, such as may be found in this volume and the preceding volumes of the Linx. This fortunate circumstance has enabled the LInK to compare favorably with the annual publications of other colleges. With the exception of six sketches, the illustrations in this book were produced by students now in attendance at the Institute and it is in this fact that we, the Board of Editors, take especial pride. With the establishment of the Sketch Club, organized this year, time should bring with it a corresponding increase in the improvement in this kind of work.
