Although the (' Mi l of 1M) has not followed exactly the same orbit as those that have come before, still we hope that its eccentricity, if it vary appreciably, has lost nothing to the Comet, but rather increased its worth and stability by the variation. It has been our endeavor to give a fair account of the doings at Vanderbilt. o o and if we have succeeded in making them interesting we shall fee! amply repaid for the time and labor spent in publishing this volume. If between the covers of this book, any individual feels his toes trodden upon, we hope he w ill • acknowl- edge the corn, and remember that it i' his fault, not ours that the corn is there. Some we have hit because we liked them: others we have hit because we did not like their way so well: but in no case have we exaggerated purposely, or tried to be too one-sided. Before closing we would like to speak a word in behalf of our advertisers, who. we fear, have been heretofore to»» much neglected. It should be remem- bered that without their assistance the Comet could never appear, and we trust that the students will not forget to patronize their patrons.
