Greeting T™ O THE faculty, student body, alumni and friends of S. U., the class of 1902 extends greeting. As the representatives of the Junior Class, we feel the responsibility under which we have been £ SJ| placed by our fellow classmates, and hope we shall not betray the trust committed to our charge. As no words which pen can write or poet sing can give due honor to our alma mater, we shall not defame her worth by attempting a single measure to her praise. Let stars and singing spheres yield homage to her name, as through the ages, she, faithful to her mission seeks To summon men to nobler spheres, And lead them worthward. For our work we make no apology. We have tried to be honest and impartial. Our aim has been to give the rounds and grinds of college life, rather than to follow the custom of pouring vials of unappeased wrath upon those too active for any other mode of retribution. Yet, if Some shot by random sent finds lodgment in a tender spot, pray think on it lightly, and forget not that the editors are but mortal, and their knowledge limited. We sincerely hope you will laugh at our jokes of ancient fame and widespread reputation, forebearing to look at our new jingles with a critic ' s austere eye. Our object is to please, and if we have accomplished this, or have made one friend for Susquehanna, we ask no further recompense. THE EDITORS.

He at once entered the Gettysburg Seminary, and for two years acted as tutor in the preparatory depart- ment of the college. He graduated in ' 83, and was called immediately to the Belleville charge, which he suc- cessfully served until appointed by the Home Mission Board to the position of missionary at Los Angeles, Cal. He at once went west, and organized the congregation which now has the most artistic church in the city, with a church property worth $23,000. Compelled by ill health to leave the sunny slopes of the Pacific, he accepted a call to Colorado Springs, but after five month ' s labor in the new field he was transferred by the Home Mission Board to the pastorate of St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church, at Denver, Colorado. Rev. Heisler was early drawn into general religious work, and while at Los Angeles was president of the Ministerial Alliance for several terms, as well as lecturer at the Y. M. C. A. and kindred organizations. In Denver he was drawn into the general lecture field, and was called to speak on a variety of topics throughout the state. When the Anti-Saloon League of Colorado was organized he was chosen as the first superintendent, show- ing that the churches had full confidence in his leadership. For several years he lias had charge of the normal Bible work of the Rocky Mountain Chautauqua, at Palmer Lake, Colorado, and has served in the same capacity the Rock River Assembly, at Dixon, Illinois. In June, 1899, he was approached with reference to assuming the presidency of Susquehanna University. After much prayer and deliberation the position was accepted, and on November 16th of the same year he assumed charge. In June, 1900, the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by Wittenburg College. Dr. Heisler has proven himself to be a competent leader and a devoted, capable teacher, not only within the college walls, but throughout our whole state. He is kept constantly before the public, and has not failed to instruct and edifj ' those who hear him. •9 —
