W'e feel that the best interests of Wfesleyan demand progress in every line of college activity, and as much in this as in any other. Therefore, our effort throughout has been not only to maintain the high standard set by our predecessors, but to make it still higher. lVith this end in view, wc have tried to make our book not merely a medium for the airing of petty class rivalry and boasting, but a college publication. How well We have succeeded, we leave for our readers to judge, in the hope that they will deal with us as leniently as possible. Our mistakes we freely confess, but We believe that there may be found excellencies which, to some extent at least, make up for these defects. The custom of having a short history of the progress of our newest alumni has been continued, and should, We think, henceforth be consid- ered a permanent part of the OLLA PODRIDA. The list of college honors for the Seniors has been somewhat reduced along lines that seem just to all concerned. Gther features will appear to those who look farther into the book. The Literary Department should be nearly all made of fantasy, and on this account is a great factor in the success of a college annual. The serious side of life has been left to the statistics, which have not, it is to be feared, been entirely deprived of their dryness even after a copious use of the moisture of printers' ink. In most cases our Work has been characterized by all impatience, rather than by the great virtue, its opposite. Our thanks, however, are due to those who have lightened our burden by their advice, and who have contributed to our help with ink and brains. May they sometime receive their reward. No QLLA POD. board can give it adequately. And now with all hurnblenessf' but, nevertheless, with the hope that our work will do some little good for Vlfesleyan, we present to you the 1903 QLLA PODRIDA. I
