Our faculty passes in review, And Deans you'll find here, too. From Arts to Bibles And back again. From goateed professors, To -beardless successors, All are present for you to see. A The Governor's here and Curators, too, And Middlebush sits in pages for two. From gossamer dreams To nefarious schemes, The minds of students Will often roam. And now you can see what is plain to me, They must be here for a purpose. Pg.lZ

Man alive, you've done it now! Whether you realize it or not you are registered in this school. Maybe you're just a freshman. If sog God help you. And so it is with the Savitar. You are just getting started. If you let the opening bit of color get you down, then relaxg there is damn little more of it. We wanted you to get the feeling that you were just getting started and that is Why we have so con- veniently placed this registration picture before any- thing else. Nothing is more of a beginning than registration, and by the same token, nothing can be more final. There is a campus legend to the effect that in the fall of 1907 a young man, who was known to his Page I3 family as Julius Plotcoch, and for that matter, he was known to everyone else by the same name, entered the library one bright sunshiny day in Sep- tember, and since has not emerged. Legend further tells that this man may be seen dashing madly about the halls with a thirty-foot scroll of parchment which is enscribed with long blanks to be filled in. He roams the halls constantly mumbling that he wants to get into class No. 5434, The Rehabilitation of the Spanish-American War Veteran , but persons keep telling him that the class is closed. He coyly spits at them, and struggles wearily on. We trust that none of you had similar trouble. Remember that the story is merely legend.
