VERY CLOSELY RELATED. When a man without cash or credit attempts to leave a hotel and lowers his valise out of a back window by means of a rope, it makes charity seem cold to hear the voice of the landlord below yelling up: All right, I ' ve got the valise; let go of the rope. Sit down! said a nervous old gentleman to his son, who was making too much noise. I won ' t do it, was the impudent answer. Well, then, stand up. I will be obeyed. The following is the reply of a fond father, who had just re- ceived a letter from his son, a student in his own alma mater: My dear son — Accept my heartiest congratulations. 1 was engaged to the same Miss Bunter when I was in college, and can appreciate the fun you are having. Go it while vou are young. Your loving father. Prof. Blackie once chalked on his notice board in college: The professor is unable to meet his classes tomorrow. A waggish student removed the c leaving lasses. When the professor returned, he noticed the new rendering. Equal to the occasion, the professor quietly rubbed out the 1 and the notice read: The professor is unable to meet his asses tomorrow.

An Admonition to the Underclassmen You now have in hand the second Legenda. You may like the book and be vohxble in your praises of its merits or you may criticise its faults, but remember one thing, that perhaps you, too, may issue a Legenda. In all undertakings, difficulties are sure to arise and so it is with a year book. Problems appear in rapid order and they must be solved. One problem that will confront you is how to raise a sufficient amount of money to make the book at least a par- tial success. The people who advertise are the ones who insure a successful book. As you wish to have your book a success you will undoubt- edly seek the patronage of the same business people who have adver- tised in this issue. Will these men advertise? That is up to you. Here comes the explanation : If you wish to make a purchase pick out a Legenda advertiser and buy from him. Furthermore, tell him you saw his ad in this book so that he will appreciate its value. Then when you later call on him to contribute his announcement of his goods for the next number he will feel that it is to his advantage to do so. So we repeat — It ' s up to you. Once more the Legenda makes its appearance. Its existence is due to the interest taken in it by many members of the class and of the faculty. The Executive Board wishes to thank the Legenda Board who in turn are extremely thankful to Miss Coney for her kind help and good judgment. It is our fondest hope that this book will be published yearly. May such hopes be realized.
