We're off! The blessed event, the upstart of our genius, is launched into the cruel world! Mere conformity to tradition would have us lay aside our scruples regarding sincerity and to subtly curry favor from some influential person by laud- ing that worthy for inspiration and assistance. This, however, being hard on the honorary's conscience, we have chosen not to let our tribute be clothed in the usual tissues of fiction and artificial formality. We risk criticism for lack of altruism, excommunication from higher society, or even literal cruci- fixiont on charges of cockiness at the hands of those whom we have sought so ardently and humbly to serve. But, following our motto: Bons mots n'epargnent nuls. , we gladly accede, as it leaves us, to the last request this little volume will ever make. We cannot but be modestly grateful as we hear our literary child solemnly utter, of its own free will and straight from its true blue heart: All that l am and ever hope to be, l owe to my dartlling makers.

F FD LEP VES September is here! The harvest of Nature is ending, and hungry minds begin to glean those noble fields, Whose fruit is truth. More vigorous bodies follow the pigskin, and stadia ring with the cheers of collegians. Faculty on parade, freshmen on probation-college is on! This, We tell ourselves, will be a big year . Significantly, how- ever, ambitions shrivel under the heat of the midnight oil even be- fore the dying of the leaves. But fall and the freshness of summer- given vitality were glorious-until the grades came. Leaf, and live them all anew.
