? AN EXPLANATION THE EDITOR of Reveille, in outlining his plans therefor, thought that it would be an excellent idea to allow each class, ( except the much imposed upon Preps., who need- less to say, did not furnish theirs, ) to furnish its own class heading. But, alas! Human frality did not forsee the terrifying effects of such a course, as evinced by the class headings following. The Seniors and Juniors, as usual, acted with great discretion, and succeeded in securing friends who kindly did the work for them, and did it excellently. The Sophs ' ' and Freshmen, however, decided to allow members of their respective classes to do their headings. Of course, such an opportunity for kindly offices ' ' so often rendered be- tween the two distinguished classes could not be lost, and they proceeded to do each other most beautifully. Rumors of each other ' s doings filled the air, and finally, when the sketches were handed in, the unoffending editor was forced to push his bed against the door, and figuratively speaking, sleep under arms, to prevent some irrepressible classman of nineteen hundred and four or of nineteen hundred and five from seizing the drawing of the other class. They were preserved intact, however, and appear, in toto, an exhibit of the ' ' there is a friend dearer than a brother, ' ' spirit existing between the two learned classes. 9 9 9 jo 9 9 19

And when the fact is considered that the Federal Government has provided funds sufficiently large to provide for a Faculty capable of teaching many times the number of students for which the State has provided buildings, it must be evident to every thinking per- son that the State should cooperate to the extent of putting the College in position to receive the full benefit of the federal grants. Other States, and especially those of the great West, have shown a keener appreciation of the liberality of the nation. The agricultural colleges of the West, by the fostering care and patronage of the legislatures, have become, in almost every case, the key- stone of the educational system of the State. When we see the Legislature of Wisconsin appropriating $316,000 in one year for the proper equipment of her State Col- lege, we cannot but feel that Maryland has not treated her State institution fairly. But now, at length, it seems that a brighter light is breaking over the horizon. The Legislature of 1902 has provided for a suitable dormitory building and for an extension of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This means more students and more effective instruction. The aid given to the Experiment Station, the State Horti- cultural Department, and to the Department of Farmers Institutes will extend the scope of their influence, and every circumstance points to a long stride forward in the near future. Tho.se who have followed the College through the many vicissitudes that have marked her career must feel a thrill of deep pleasure in the prospect of success thus spread before her. That much of the trouble of the pa.st has been caused by a failure to appreciate the true worth of the institution, bj ' those whose welfare is greatly dependent upon its success, is undoubtedl}- true ; that the cloud of misunderstanding and doubt is gradually dissolving in the light of its real merits, must be to the friends of education, and especially to those sturdy friends of the College, who have .stood by her through adversity and defeat, a source of unfailing gratification. These have ever believed in the success of the College. Their faith in the triumphant destiny of the school has never wavered. And now that the light is breaking, we may hope that the dream will be realized. May the forward movement never be checked. May the old Maryland Agricultural College stride onward and upward until .she becomes what her friends have always wished to .see her — the crowning point in the system of Public Instruction in the State !
