in this case, will not uphold its reputation of being cold and unsympathetic. It is incomplete we know, and far from perfect and there will be many who seeing only with a critic ' s eye will find sins both of omission and commission and censure us accordingly. To them we will say that for our work we have no aspirations beyond the fulfillment of a purpose ; that purpose being not to afford amusement to the humorously inclined by means of witty epigrams, or to excite the admiration of the scholar with rhajjsodies of irreproachable rhetoric, but to simply and truth- fully by means of prose, verse, and jiicture record some of the happenings of our senior year for the benefit of those whose names are herem inscribed. To this end we hope that our labor has not been in vain, and that at some future time when the class of ig20 will, as a unit, have been forgotten and their glowing record, stuffed into one of the many dusty recesses known only to Mr. Johnson is yellow with age, some vveary practitioner stooped with years and honors may of an even- ing lovingly caress the dust from the 1920 issue of the Terra Mariae and rumina- tivelv turn its pages as he again listens to the comminuted lectures of Professor Winslow or sees with bated breath the oratorical dramatization of a mortal dying of hemorrhage. Dr. Warfield playing the leading role. . nd then perhaps from his field of subconsciousness will come memories of certain nights spent in the students ' building and a reconviction of the truth of the old adage rolling bones gather no dough or again he may find himself with a soft eyed nurse tripping the light fantastic in old Ward K to the forgotten tune of A Good Man is Hard to P ' ind. If these and other pleasant memories of the good old days should perchance be initiated by this little book and serve to cause an extra heart throb for our old Alma Mater, then the editor will feel that his purpose has been most bountifully fulfilled and that he labored not in vain. The casual outside reader we are afraid will derive little pleasure from the cursory perusal of these pages. His life is not interwoven with the happenings, and the faces herein contained are unfamiliar to him. Perhaps he does not know what it is to toil month after month, year after year with an eye single to the star of graduation, and at last ha ing arrived at the summit of a youthful ambition, to look down upon the rugged road that he has climbed and exult that his desire has been attained. Such a time causes a queer admixture of joy and sorrow. Joy that the ambition of a lifetime has been realized, sorrow that the carefree college days, the hours of jollity and fun, the pranks and escapades known only to the college boy are over forever and that from now on life is to him a forest through which he must blaze his own trail. Years have gone by; Life ' s loidaiids arc past. And I stafid on the hill ichich I siahcd for at last; But 1 turn from the summit that once zvas in i star. To the vale of my childhood, seen dimly and far. And now members of the senior classes the editor as he places the ' 20 edition of the Terra Mariae in your hands Welshes you God sjieed in your chosen profession. May success shed its golden light ahead of you as you travel through life and may prosperity nc ' er find you wanting. But in after years when in vour lu.xury you ila •e quite forgotten those younger days in the U of M, will you not unearth your old year book, glance at the pictures, read the lines which it contains, and then if it seems to you a senseless mass of nothing and you feel that your time can be spent more pleasantly in some other way, do not be too harsh with the editor for remember the Good Book says, Judge not that ye be not judged.
