character abroad and bring us into communication with other institutions. With the increased number of students, this matter should be no longer put off. It is a pleasure to welcome a large Freshman class, but even yet we would ask for more. The wants of the college are many, but the public-spirited men are few. Many thanks for what we have received, but still there is a wide range for improvement. A hall for public exercises, combined with suitable rooms for the library and cabinet, is absolutely essential. The Library, so much needed, seems at last to be forthcoming. We would earnestly ask the reader ' s attention to the appeal to the Alumni and friends of the M. S. C. , for the improvement of the Library, which we print in full. It is with pleasure that we relinquish- the editorial pen and resume our usual college duties. It has been the design of the editors to make the Index in reali- ty what it is in name ; an index of student life, to make it of interest to all, --to the students and to their friends ; to represent as perfectly as possible the meth- ods and theories by which we live and move.
