. .3 mm EDITDRIAL. 6i|g ' OMING to our many readers and friends with the chronicles of our inner college life, we would first of all beg you to look with great forbearance upon our work, remembering that a sufficient punishment is brought upon the rash and inexperienced Index Board when the liabilities are brought forth. However, we shall strive to fill our place in the unbroken line of those who, since the first Junior Class, have toiled and suffered in like manner, wring- ing from their inmost souls those wondrous productions only to hear the heartless remark — stale jokes. Thus anticipating our fate, we would only ask that those errors which may occur be kindly overlooked, and, furthermore, that a suffi- cient amount of pity be felt to induce every one to invest in a full stock of this number of the Index. Dviring the past year President Greenough has proved himself capable of not only governing the College, but also of raising its standard both in an intellectual and moral way. Although the ex- pulsion of men is no doubt an unpleasant duty and frequently excites strong feeling, it is often no more than just to those remaining, and when judiciously done must elevate the tone of the College. It is at the same time a serious matter, and should have good and definite reasons. The various unpleasant episodes and apparently foolish acts which have occurred all round the past year, and which have caused no end of trouble and ill-feeling, are, we hope, things of the past which may never occur aarain. 11

Perhaps the greatest misfortune which has befallen the College since the death of President Chadbourne is the resignation of our highly esteemed Professor of Mathematics. During his short stay with us, Professor Basset has gained such an unbounded respect, admiration, and affection from every student as lies in the power of but few men to command. His patience and kindness, his untiring- efforts in our behalf, have made him a model which all must desire to follow. In leaving his professorship here to pursue higher studies, we can assure him that he will always hold a place in the heart of every man who was in his classes, and that each and every one wishes him the best of success. Our best wish for our College shall ever be that he may sometime return to fill an honored place among the fac- ulty of this institution. We shall miss Professor Goodell, who has been called by a large vote to represent this district in the Legislature. Beside his usual duties, which are always so thoroughly performed. Professor Goodell has attended to the purchasing and recataloguing of the books of our rapidly increasing library. Professor Goessman ' s department, containing as it does the over- sight of both the College and Experiment Station work, has been steadily growing until he has finall} ' been obliged to relinquish the recitation of the lower classes to Professor H. E. Stockbridge, attend- ing only to the upjDer classes and work of the laboratory and station. Besides Professor Stockbridge, whom the College has been fortu- nate in securing and we hope may succeed in retaining, we have during the past year received instruction in Physiology from Dr. Tuckerman of ' 78, and in Mathematics, Professor C. D. Warner of ' 81 has assumed the chair left vacant by Professor Basset. To all these we extend a hearty welcome, and hope their connection with the College may be a long and pleasant one. Of Dr. Miles there is need of much being said which it does not become us to say. That his services were secured by our late Presi- dent Chadbourne with the intention that he should hold a prominent place in the direction of the Farm and Experiment Station was a well-known fact. That he is most eminently fitted to fill such a place has been thoroughly proven to all unprejudiced minds. That it is the one place wherein his vast stores of knowledge and experience 13
