Editorial A Q93 at COLLEGE ANNUAL fills a position of peculiarresponsibility, It is not a merecatalogue of fraternities, societies and asso- ciations, nor is it intended to be either a literary or a humorous publication, but it should aim to be the true index of college life. As such, the literary and theihumorous both have places between its covers, but they are the means and not the end. Coiiegeflife is not all work, nor is it all fun, and its many different phases should be reflected in the ideal annual. Itishould contain enough of the literary to make it worthyvof perusal, and enough of the humorous to make it entertaining. This is the ideal for the attainment of which we have striven.' We know that it is beyond usg we .realize that we can not hope to succeed in every respect, and so it is with feelings of deep anxiety that we submit, for judgment, this, the twenty-eighth volume of the IVY. ' Where we have failed, may future boards take warning, may they learn to keep away from the Scyllas which we have encoun- tered and from the Charybdises into which we have fallen. But where we have succeeded may the classes of future years follow our example and press ever onward toward the attainment of perfec- tion, and may the IVY ever serve as a reminder' of happy college days to those sons of old Trinity who have taken their places on the battleheld of life. The editors wish to thank most heartily all who have assisted them in the production of this book by literary or artistic contribu- tions. , i 9

Each student is held accountable for his work every .day, and receives personal encouragement and guidance in a degree impossible where the number of the taught is greater. Practical research and laboratory methods are applied Wherever possible.
