GREETING. WITH a howl of timidity, we first appear before the public. As we make our first howl, we are blinded by the glare of public criticism, as the new-born infant is blinded by the light of the sun. With fear and trembling do we present to the public this volume. Even before we go to press do we hear the ominous roars of popular opinion. But was there anything, no matter how perfect, that was not criticised? So, although we do not claim perfection, yet we ask our friends to skip lightly over our failings, and dwell on whatever seems good in their eves. Many things have been omitted. We should like to start back in August, with the greetings and yells and society leggings ; to come on through the fall, noting every detail ; then on to Thanksgiving, when Richmond wrested the cup from us on the oratorical arena, and so on to Christmas and the merry holidays, noting the trials and tribulations of examination time. In the spring, gladly would we make like records. Mth the quiet month of January lead up to the merrymaking of anniversary; and then speak of baseball, which over- tops everything else in the minds of the students during the spring months; with a closing account of commencement and the sad leave-takings. But space does not allow all these things. Many things we could tell, many things could be un- folded to the world, for the year of 1902-03 has been full of eventful happenings, and to record them would take volumes as massive as those required to hold the formulas for compounds of carbon (for number, see either Dr. Brewer or Dr. Lynch). Even a brief account of the elections of the session, with the hosts of leggers, would fill volumes, for every office has been hotly contested, and there is hardly a man in College who has not been legged time and time again. And no doubt a few stolen leaves from the record book of the faculty would be interesting to many. All this we can not record ; but by taking a note here and a view there, we have endeavored to represent this past session; and though we have fallen far below our aim, yet we have heard that by aiming at the heights, it is possible to fall far below the mark and yet hit high. We have aimed at the heights, but how high we have hit we leave to the decision of our friends.
