Preface HE Editor of tlie Legenda vows that The Young Student Tis the aided etYort in history of an authoress of uncertain years. Effort , however, hardly describes it, as one can tell by a perusal of bound copies of the News for the year 1917- ' 18. Then observe the countenance of the young genius, which is used as a frontispiece to her historical triumph. This is not the face of one who dashed off a superficial sort of account in the period before it was due. The face shows traces of deep thought, of a tireless search through memory books, records and directories. It shows how she felt at the moment when she pasted the last strip of proof into the dummy. While working, she probably gnashed her teeth and roared at her friends if they opened her door, these symptoms increasing as the date of publication drew near. ( I ' ormer Editors will realize that she was looking forward to that moment all the time. ) The manuscript was written in purple ink with a stub ftjuntain pen on odds and ends of paper and manila cards. It was spread all over a litered desk for a short time, waiting to go to the printer and here it is already, with its illuminating pictures of college life. The authoress, let us suppose, was one of a large family who were all graduates of W ' ellesley College. She spent her childhood devouring the countless Nezvs, Magazines, and Legendas that came into the house. Sometimes her sisters friends ran down for the week-end, and then there was gossip and mention of such places as Tower Court , Simjxson Cottage and The Tea Room , none of which escaped the child with the elastic ears. 1 am sure we will all admire Elsie, in whom we at last discover the Ideal College Freshman. We will shed a tear for her instruc- tors, but we will never stop laughing at her class-mates, who just couldn ' t help making faux pas. The manuscript is given in its original form except for a cer- tain amount of revision, a few items which were censored and the occasional misinterpretations of the printer. The Editor.
