JForeworb We do not profess to be experts in the art of making books; bnt we can honestly say that we have clone our best. We have tried to publish that which you will enjoy reading in the after-years, that which shall forever link your heart-thoughts to dear old Taylor and Taylor associations. We have in all our quotations concerning you, at- tempted, either to express our estimation of you or your own estimation of the world and the things about you. We have in no place laughed at you but have in all cases laughed with you, so please laugh with us. There are two features that we have tried to empha- size, viz., the everj -day events and life of the school an d the importance of the religious thought which makes our school a mighty force for God.
