CORKS .ma CURLS ,lluhi i 'Q2'75'2 ND here it is, gentlemen, at last. As our dear friend and fellow-sufferer, 55553-D Nw William Shakespeare, would say, ln sooth it seems like a book, it looks Sr like a book, ye gods, it is 'a book! Yes, sad as it may seem, it is a 4 fm book and we who have carefully and tenderly filled its pages in a style that has made the Philippics lose their significance, have chartered a special train and hold it at a moment's notice. We had aimed at being humorous, in fact our aims were all good at the beginning, and how much we have failed of our purpose you will be able to judge for yourselves. We thank all of those who gave us their best wishes and intentions, we could have filled the book with them alone. We heard that they make good paving stones, however, so we are saving them for future use. As usualf' this year has been especially uneventful, but we have tried to inject as much local color as possible. Sometimes the local color has been of the invisible variety, but imagination is a great thing and we recommend that our readers apply it in large quantities. Knocking is the last resource of the editorial mind, so that we have indulged in it to a greater or less extent and, though our blows may at times appear to be overhard, we have tried to be friendly and fair. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to those who have very kindly made this book possible by their generous contributions. To Mr. George B. Shepherd we are especially indebted for the quality and quantity of work that he has contributed to the Art Department, and the spirit in which he undertook to have the annual well illustrated. We feel no less appreciative of the kindness of Miss Bowles, Mr. Kearfott, and Mr. 8
