Hnrvmurh 0 O MQ? gi f REETINGS, gentle reader! XVe, the parents, as it were, of this offering, salute you with doubt, we cheerfully admit, as to the 3 I reception our protege will receive. L ' 1 ' f Perhaps, as you scan our lines, you will und that our prose ,f 19 lacks considerable of being Robert Chambers' in style-just . ,... . v - ,- remember lbob gets paid for it-we don't. If you are absolutely convinced that our poetry compares unfavorably with those gggggg sweet lines oi Milton, recollect, dear reader, that all good men D 3 5 5 5 0 like he, died years ago, and besides, he was blind-we are neither dead nor blind. KEEQPQL-?X??Q Better still, rememiber you couldn't do half as well your- self, and so you don't qualify for a critic, anyway. - Wfe might, if we wished 'to deviate hopelessly from the straight and narrow path of veracity, go on and tell you what a pleasure it was to get out this volume. As a matter of fact, it was no such thing-it was blamed hard, discouraging work, and the lack of interest shown by a large part of our dear schoolmates caused more than one member of the board to lose what little religion he ever possessed, which you must admit is an awful shame although a small loss. For those whose generosity or lack of tleetness of foot Qthus shutting off escapej prompted them' to dig deeply into their jeans and contribute dearly a copeck to a good cause, we have an undying affection. To all those who aided us in any way, by early linancial co-operation or by contributions of literature or art, we sincerely accord our thanks. XVe shall pray 'lor you. To all these, our triends, we extend the fervent wish that they may reap their just reward in heaven-they'll surely go there. But to those who, owing 'to utter selhshness, tightwadness, or total ignor- ance of the duty they owe their Alma Mater, neither subscribed nor contributed literature nor art, may they receive their just deserts in 'the subway realm. They are surely headed in that direction. XVith perfect confidence that they'll get theirs, do we commit 'them to the tender mercies of the gentle man who presides below. But, dear reader, all levity and bitterness aside, we hope you will like our little book-to please you we've 'tdone our darndest. ' t BOARD or EDITORS. 8
