THE INDEX. extension of office would give him time to fully carry out with one class the method of instruction that he has intro- duced. We have intended to set forth our own ideas of the work- ings of the college. If, in the expression of our thoughts, too much freedom has been taken, we humbly beg the pardon of those offended, as nothing detrimental to any one has been intended. To lower-classmen it is hardly necessary to repeat the yearly advice, Don ' t fail to publish the Index, for as every class has thus far published it, it has become a fixture in the college course. And now, as we draw towards the close of our Editorial, we regret being obliged to leave these pages, that have been to us both a pleasure and a profit. Whatever has a beginning, has an end; and bidding farewell, as editors, we retire.

THE INDEX. The military department has lost none of its interest durins the past year. In fact, our young and enthjisiastic command- ant has steadily advanced the cause of this science. We students feel that he has discharged his duties in a manner satisfactory to the college and the public. Of the many works that will always serve to keep his name fresh in the memory of the college, none are of greater moment than the erection of the centennial battery, which adds much to the picturesqueness of the grounds and the ■ esprit du corps of the college.

Another noteworthy event, which we cannot pass by in silence, is our going into encampment at Mt. Toby. And a most agreeable change from college life we found it. Nothing but the weather was a drawback, and even that had little effect upon us. It is the universal opinion of the college that it was an eminent success, and that it reflects great credit upon its originator. The experiences at Camp Wm. Knowl- ton, will be remembered with pleasure by all. We hope that this will, as is intended, become a permanent feature of life at the M. A. C. While we are proud to have such a perfect soldier for our instructor, we look forward with sadness to the date at which he may leave us. Though military etiquette may prohibit his reappointment, we earnestly hope that his terra of oflEice will be prolonged at least one year more. As the class of ' 79 entered the year that he was detailed, such an
