THE CALYX, ' 98, is now before you. It repre- sents much toil and labor on the part of the Board, but our exertions have been sweetened by the assur- ance that whatever of good there is in the result will be given its full measure of apprecia- tion — and the mistakes, while seen, will be viewed leniently. This spur has been more influential than the fear of harsh criticism. The new feature, Maidens ' Meditations, contribtited by Lexington ' s fair ones, will be plea.sing to both student and alumnus. The editresses have worked energeticall}- and faith- fulh ' , and we think the result does them credit. We wish to thank all tho.se who have so cordially promised and contributed articles and illustrations. The brothers Flournoy, among the alumni, deserve especial mention. April lith, iSgS.
