Urrru illilariar. 1 H1 IJ lgrrfarr HARLES DICKENS is quoted as having said: An author who has much to communicate and expects to have it attended to, may be compared to a man who takes his friend by the button at a theatre door, and seeks to entertain him with a personal gossip before he goes into the ptayf, The Editors, as much as they would like to apply the sense of this quotation to this preface, are, nevertheless, behooved to despatch the TERRA MARIAE of nineteen hundred and ten with the usual introduction. We had quite early in the year begun forming an adequate con- ception of the work that lay before us, but to have it attended to, and executed, in the manner we would have presented it as a complete and wholly acceptable work, was quite another matter. Nevertheless, the plans upon which the Annual have been arranged, are now finally put before the Student Body. They were given the time and consideration, consistent with the essential attributes usually found in a growing University. No attempts have been made to restrict representation of the various depart- ments of Medicine, Law, Dental and Pharmacyg no Procrustean efforts used in efecting the status of one of these departments from the viewpoint of another department, but each was given the freedom to participate with the others. The Annual for this reason will be more voluminous and have some innovations which are hoped to commend themselves to you. But anotber reason may be assigned for the increased growth of the Annual, and that is, on account of the steady perceptible growth of new organi- zations in the University. Assuredly these must be given due encourage- ment. The object of this book, beyond what the patriotic student ought to know concerning the serious and salient matters of his University, is to portray all that which appears humanistic in nature g an audacious obtrusion of the letter and not of the spirit of the common occurrences and affairs in and out of the lecture halls. They are merely the echoes of Demo- critus, being repeated by our fellow students and most worthy professors, and the objects of our jeu d'esprit do play their part as their reflection indicate, then indeed is their rote a suitable one.

Urrra illiariar, I H 1 H The years of fellowship with our fellow students and with the mem- bers of the Faculties were ones of fruition. The impressions of goodwill were engendered by timeg and although reluctant to leave the halls wherein we day by day, imperceptibly, formed the strongest bonds of sacredest friendship, we can look out into lyfe witb hearts full of thank fulness to the University which has filled us with her bounteous gyfts of learning, love and integrity.
