It has been said that hooks are schools. In many res])ects il is true. . t least it is hardly jjossible for one to secure a more natural picture, in all its phases, than is portrayed in the average College . nniial. With this idea — the portrayal of C ' ollege Life — in mind, this book is published. It is hoped that it may interest not oid those who ha e been ])rivi- leged to experience such a life, but likewise any who may be desirous to drink at tiie fount of ])rofessional life; and last, but not least, to invite the attention of those persons who are interested in the history and ])rogress of an honored and wcirth educational centre. I ' erhaps within these covers will be found ideas, some sa (iring of sweetness and vice versa, to the present students of our I ' niversity. If such is so. we ask you. readers, not to take everything that is said too much in earnest. If yon hapi en to be a target for our non-professional iuinior and feel that you are hit hard, then carry onr mark gracefully.

and renieml)er the other fellow may be in the same half-sad, half-happy plight; feel there is nothing sai l l)ut in jovial comradeship, and bear in mind we all are good fellows together. As an Editorial Board we wish to offer no apologies for anything that may be consid- ered a defect in this book. Yet we do feel that we have the right to ask you to consider the many difficulties that have hampered us as an amateur staff ' ; remember, also, it is no trifling- task to procure the necessary amount of fit material for these pages, ' ith such con- sideration on }-our ]:)art, kind reader, we expect only fair and lenient criticism. Again, re- member that this Annual is not supposed to represent only the fertile minds of those chosen as Editors, rather it is to be the product of the student body. Hence it can only be of merit in proportion to their effort. We wish to extend our most hearty thanks for and appreciation of much valuable mate- rial from friends not directly connected with the Staff. As Editors, we are wiser today than we were yesterday. Naturally we feel we could edit another volume better than we have this one, which is our first and also our last. This edition of Terra Mari.E is now public propert} ' . Our results are at your mercy. If we have failed or succeeded to interest you is not for us to judge, but for you to say. In either instance, our only excuse for having undertaken what was almost an endless — and sometimes a thankless- — task, is College Spirit born of loving gratitude to our Alma Mater— the University of Maryland. THE EDITORS.
