TJ} year. N their selection to perform the somewhat arduous duties with which the publication of the Halcyon is necessarily attended, your chroniclers feel especially favored in hav- ing for their theme, a period of such remarkable brightness and prosperity. But little more than a year has elapsed since that memorable meeting of our Board of Managers, in which it was decided to relegate the pre- paratory school to the past, and vouchsafe a new era to our Alma Mater. Other concessions consistent with this broad and far-sighted policy accom- panied it, and drew from the mouths of Swarthmore ' s friends, alumni, ex-members and under-graduates, expressions of the most sincere appro- bation. The present year has witnessed the happy fulfilment of the highest hopes and beliefs of our sagacious directors. A spirit of renewed interest seems to preside over us, whether in the class-room or on the campus. With all confidence we ascribe this improvement to the increased liber- ality which has characterized the actions of our managers and faculty. Of the latter body, our thanks are especially due to President William Hyde Appleton, who, at the sacrifice of all personal interests, has governed the college with dignity and firmness and yet with a moderation which has endeared him to the heart of every student. Of the election of William Dudley Foulke to the presidency, the great affliction which overtook him on the eve of his inauguration, and his subsequent decision to withdraw his acceptance, for a time, at least, our readers are already familiar. We trust and only echo the sentiments of the whole student body that at no very distant date, he will feel justified in assuming the duties of the office which was so unanimously tendered to him.
