This gives the men in whom is vested the bulk of the responsibility, and on whom depends largely the success ofthe volume, an opportunity of compiling material and outlin- ing the work during the summer vacation while the mind is comparatively free from studies. Steps were also taken to establish an Iris Library, to which shall be added each year two copies of the Iris and as many annuals of sister colleges as the condition of the Treasury permits. This library to be at the disposal ofthe student body. After some considerable deliberation it was decided to crown our efforts by having the board incorporated. The representatives of the Law Department drew up the necessary articles, and attended to the various business connected with such a step. Not only do the articles govern the publishing of this book, but also provide for the publication ofa university periodical, which, it is the ardent hope of the present board will soon be a pleasing reality, and thus stimulate university spirit, boom athletics and knit still more closely inter-depart- ment feeling. The Board trusts that the change in the arrangement of several departments of this volume will meet with the hearty approval of its readers.
