♦ ♦ directing N the gladiatorial days of ancient Rome, those who were chosen to amuse the people would make obeisance to the Emperor, before the contests, and repeat the now familiar phrase, Hail Caesar ! They who arc about to die salute thee. ” Though we do not anticipate being literally torn to pieces, yet, before you, kind readers, shall have finished these pages, such will doubtless be our fate many times over, metaphorically speaking. -yind so, in presenting our RECORD, we may, in all propriety repeat that old salutation, and by way of apology for this, our maiden effort, say as did one of our worthy predecessors: “ Gentle reader, be forbearing, If. in looking o'er these pages, You should find mistakes and blunders, Kindly let them pass unheeded. In presenting this, our Record. Day and night we've toiled and labored. Toiling like the bee in summer As it gathers in its treasures.” Therefore we bespeak your kind consideration; and, with this hope in view, even though much be lacking, much be not what we would wish it, yet we give the volume to the public, relying upon whatever merit it may possess. ylt this time also we desire to thank faculty, students, business houses and everyone who has aided in making this RECORD a possibility. 7 6 THE EDITORS.

OW all is but a memory since our col-J I lege Jays are o er. We but linger at tbe portal ere we enter Lite s great door. And we linger, half regretful, looking backward on tbe past, And give to each a greeting wbicb perchance may be tbe last. For soon tbe dream is ended and reality s begun, And tbe Fates will give to each (lie thread from which Life s cloth is spun. And when the spinning s finished and the pattern then is turned. May we know that by Life s wearing higher office we have earned! —E. A. C., Dover, Del.
