EDITORIAL. fERHAPS the most fitting introduction to this work would be an apology. The preparation of the Bomb, the pioneer of college annuals in the South, has been attended with many difficulties. We present the result of our labors to the public with little cause for con- gratulation, but with the consciousness of knowing that what little we have performed is the result of individual effort. To the Faculty we are indebted for — well, much moral advice and many good wishes ; further than this, they have shown no interest what- ever in the success of our publication. And right here we would like to offer a suggestion. It is a well-known fact among educational institu- tions that great good can be accomplished by the cooperation of the professors, outside as well as inside the recitation rooms. But, with two exceptions, none of our Faculty have ever condescended to attend the literary exercises of our societies. Why is this? By a generous appropriation from the Board of Visitors of the Insti- tute, we have been able to publish an annual, typographically, at least, a success ; and now the Bomb is here, with fuse lit and shell charged, prepared to assail the walls of the vulnerable, one and all, without dis- tinction. And if, after the manner of bombs, we are destined to ter- minate in a bust, we console ourselves with the reflection that we have had for our targets those who have laid themselves liable to assault, be they whom they may ; and for our aim, the welfare and prosperity of our noble Alma Mater. To those who have assisted us in our work by subscriptions and adver- tisements, we are deeply grateful ; to those whose foibles have afforded us amusement we are also greatly indebted, but to those who are inclined to resent the exposure of their weaknesses, we most respectfully refer Our Fighting Editor.
